Ivyburn Regional Series Shiraz 2021
G 94
The Shiraz here came from the foothills of the Barossa Ranges. From a cracking vintage, it shows just how delicious the combination of top year, Shiraz and the Barossa region can be. Under diam. A dark mauve shade, this explodes with ample black fruits, plums, herbs, coffee grinds, dried fruits, liquorice, soy, miso and dark chocolate. A wonderfully generous wine with serious length, fine balance and silky tannins. 10 years will hardly put a dent in its evolution. Great stuff! Drink now–2034 J J Hahn Reginald Shiraz Cabernet 2023 G 94 A Barossa version of the great Aussie wine blend, which will only add to the reputation which is superb and stunning value. The colour here is a deep maroon. The nose is enticing in every possible way – coffee beans, chocolate, black cherries, warm earth, a flick of nuts, dried herbs and black fruits with a touch of mulberries as well. The wine has good length of flavour with a lingering finish and supple, sleek tannins. The palate sees a hint of tobacco leaves emerge. Love it and expect to drink beautifully for a decade.

There was 20% whole bunch fermentation and 48 days extended maceration after which the wine spent a year in new French oak. The vines, which were planted in 1912, are from the south of the region. Unfiltered and unrefined, it offers soft and spicy red fruit notes, raspberries and a delightful strawberries and cream note. Supple and seductive this is persistent and well balanced with impressive length. Enjoy this well into the 2030s. Drink 2028–2038
