2023 Chateau Tanunda Grand Barossa Shiraz

Rich and juicy with a plush mouth feel and lengthy finish.

Matured for up to 15 months in a combination of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels. Dense inky black colour with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Nosing presents aromas of aniseed and dark plum followed by some gently smoked vanillin cedar, fennel and peppered earth notes. Rich juicy dark plum and liquorice fruits are complimented by some smoky vanillin cedar and peppered earth elements. Plush mouth feel with velvety tannins and a lengthy finish that has an opulent feel to it.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews….
Earns top marks for elegance at a (reasonably) tiny $25 price tag. Well defined, fine-edged tannins provide structure and the perfect background for the fruit and spice that follows in blackberry, red plum, clove, chocolate panforte, nutmeg and a wealth of lovely, indulgent spice. A good follow up to the elegant ’22 with well-handled, discreet oak a feature across the medium bodied palate. As with the ’22, the ’23 is more refined all round and good to see the price remains the same. Drink 2024-2031.
