2015 Yangarra Ironheart Shiraz

Certified organic. Impenetrable inky black heart with a very deep black dark red hue. Potent aniseed aromas intermix with blackberry and black plum scents. Toasty vanillin oak, liquorice allsorts, confectionary, fennel and pepper also chime in. Rich aniseed, liquorice allsort, blackberry and dark plum flavours saturate the mouth with a feeling of opulence. Sitting underneath are ripe sturdy tannins with toasty vanillin oak, fennel and pepper also evident. Good freshness to the fruit with a long robust aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews…
Hand-picked, wild yeast open-fermented with 25% whole bunches, matured for 15 months in French oak (40% new). A distilled essence of shiraz from two blocks within a single estate vineyard. It's in no way overdone, but it does have some of the authoritarian stance of top flight cabernet. The black fruits speak in one voice of the ironstone soil in which the vines are planted. Great vintage, great wine. Drink by 2045.
