Hart of the Barossa Ye Brave Shiraz 2023
G 92+
Deep crimson. Black olive, choco-berry aromas with lifted flinty, graphite notes. Velvety wine with smooth black and blue fruits, underlying praline notes and persistent chalky tannins. Crispy acidity at the finish with flinty notes. Slightly reductive but should blow off. 1902-planted shiraz vines. Now–2036 Barossa Boy Double Trouble Shiraz, Cabernet 2023 G 92 Deep crimson. Intense blackcurrant, dark plum, redcurrant praline aromas with graphite, black olive notes. Inky-deep with ample cassis, dark plum, dark chocolate flavours, supple ripe tannins and underlying roasted walnut notes. Finishes bittersweet and juicy. Now–2034 Barr-Eden Estate Dreams of Gold, Menglers Hill Eden Valley Shiraz 2024 G 92 Deep crimson red. A deep sense of earth, leather and hints of smoked charcuterie meet dark berries and plum, cocoa and gentle spice on the aroma. Speaks of the land with its Aussie bush notes and earth on a palate very much in step in black fruits, baking spices, woodsmoke and savoury smoked meats on a bed of fine tannins. Trails off a little early but has a presence. Could take more time in bottle. Now–2034
