"Bright ruby-red. Vibrant, wild aromas of crunchy red berries, soy sauce, game, minerals and cola. Supple, dense and very young; packed with fruit. Slight gamey/truffley quality. Firm tannins and acids give the wine excellent backbone for aging. Finishes long and subtle, with terrific grip. A very unevolved wine that may ultimately merit a higher score. "

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
