A deep garnet hue for this Barossa blend, the nose gives us notes of red fruits, notably cherries, beef stock and warm earth. There is good ripeness here and the wine is powerful and poised while oak is evident and well handled. Moving to the palate, there is a sweet core of raspberries and chocolate. Showing good balance throughout, the wine is richly flavoured with fine, sleek tannins. A seamless style, this is rather delicious to enjoy now and over the next six years. Drink now–2030 Cooper Burns Sterling Barossa Valley Shiraz 2019 G 93 A deep garnet/red hue to this fine Barossa Shiraz. The nose is showing red fruits, coffee grinds, warm earth tones, black fruits and bay leaves. There is some maturity evident here on a supple palate which gives up notes of chocolate throughout. A medium weight style with a lingering finish, offering sleek tannins. Lots to like here and it should provide pleasure over the next four to six years. Drink now–2030 Cooper Burns Mason Barossa Valley Shiraz 2016 G 93 A serious value option here with plenty of age already. The colour is a garnet red and this is an appealing mature red, which is exhibiting some complexity. We have notes of plums, aniseed, tobacco leaves and blackcurrants. It is taut and well structured with bright acidity carrying the length, sleek tannins and a lingering finish. Terrific drinking now and over the next two to four years. Likeable and a bargain. Drink now–2028 Corryton Burge The Brigadier Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 G 93 Deep crimson. Intense blackcurrant, plum, and graphite aromas with leafy/chinotto notes.
