2015 Three Brothers Reunited Shiraz
It’s a rare achievement in this industry for a wine to maintain its price point for more than over a decade without sacrificing quality, even more so when it's priced under $10. But the Three Brothers Reunited Shiraz has done just that. Most new labels (particularly in the sub $20 category) start with a bang and over deliver in the first couple of vintages in an attempt to win new customer's loyalty. However, in follow up releases they often stretch expectations of quality in order to meet increased demand. Gradually the brand fades away as customers are disillusioned with what's become a lesser wine. Three Brothers, on the other hand, has made quality and consistency its number one priority, only gradually increasing production while growing a very loyal customer base that's made this our top selling red for well over a decade. Further testimony to this label's commitment to quality was demonstrated by the fact that no wine was produced from the difficult 2011 vintage - the challenging conditions simply didn't offer fruit to meet the label's required standards.
A budget priced beauty that delivers the goods year after year.
Totally opaque black dark red colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Elevated ripe dark plum and liquorice aromas meld into hints of toasty vanillin oak, some dried herbs and spicy pepper. Rich, juicy and supple in the mouth with velvety tannins and medium to full body weight the palate dishes up spicy dark plum, ripe dark cherry and liquorice flavours. Sitting beneath is an underbelly of toasty vanillin oak, subtle dried herb infusions and pepper. Finishes with a fleshy aftertaste of lightly peppered dark plums, liquorice, toasty vanillin oak and subtle spicy dried herbs.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
