2023 Bosward Shiraz

Rich, concentrated and opulent with a subtle chewy feel across the long, sumptuous finish.

Dense inky black colour with a dark purple black tinged hue. Intense liquorice and ripe black cherry aromas are complimented by some blueberry, plum, vanillin cedar, scorched earth and peppered fennel like notes. Rich and concentrated, the palate is swamped with juicy dark plum, liquorice and blackberry fruits. Spicy vanillin cedar, scorched earth and peppered fennel elements are carried across the back half which is enlivened by a lick of blueberry freshness. Opulently textured it has slightly inky tannins which impart a subtle chewy feel across the long sumptuous finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews…..
Reid Bosward has some solid winemaking chops. This we know to be true. Knows how to craft a lovely Barossan shiraz too – case in point here, with grapes sourced from the Hobbs, Marschall and Bultawilta vineyards. Deeply coloured and pure of fruit with a core of velvety plum and blueberry, abundant spice, flecks of jasmine, ironstone, cocoa powder, licorice and earth with chocolatey tannins and an extended draw on the finish. Drink by 2032.
