Rating for Australia-South Australia-Adelaide-Barossa: 85 (slightly worse than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>

Here’s a great example of classic Aussie Shiraz. Ruby in colour with purple tints. Sweet, ripe – just flirting with jammy – fruit and spice aromas fill the senses: crushed blackberries, raspberries, black pepper and licorice. Full bodied and approachable, with a round, plush texture and a medium-long finish. Bring on the pepper steaks.
