2022 Auld Family Wines Shiraz

Richly fruited with slightly chewy tannins and a pepper laced finish.

Dense pitch black colour with a deep dark red black hue. Elevated dark plum and liquorice aromas are trailed by smoky vanillin cedar, fennel and peppered meat notes. Rich dark plum, liquorice and black cherry fruits adorn the medium to full bodied palate. Scorched earth and peppered meat elements lie underneath. Slightly chewy tannins with a lengthy finish that has some blackpepper threaded through it.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 14.8%

Other Reviews….
This is a cracking Barossa Shiraz from a superb vintage and seriously good value. The colour here is a deep bruised plum and the nose gives us notes of chocolate, spices, smoked meats, dried herbs, plums and chocolate. A sappy, fresh style with good energy. Impressive length, fresh acidity, supple tannins and a lingering finish. The palate sees more plums, black fruits, and white pepper to the fore. Enjoy this now and for the next six to eight years. Drink 2024-2032.
