Tasting Notes

Colour:

Deep inky magenta with a purple hue

Aroma:

This is magnificently fruited and gloriously expressed on the nose showing blackberry, spiced plum, chocolate tart, cake spice and cedar characters.

Palate:

A sumptuous palate that is opulent and impressively weighted. The wine is powerfully graceful with a seamless flow to an impressively long engaging finish.

Food Pairing:

A wine that deserves only the best. Try with grass-fed, Wagyu beef or well matured hard sheep cheeses

The Thing Barossa Shiraz 2019 Reviews

Deep colour with ruby/brick-red and faintly purple tinges. The bouquet is all about oak—coconut, vanilla, chocolate and mocha abound. It's very full-bodied, dense and chewy in the mouth, with thickly coating tannins and alcohol afterglow. A whopper that demands time and will have many admirers. It really needs several years in the cellar. Decadent stuff.

Huon Hooke, The Real Review

Under cork, and a monster bottle, this is big in every way. Big bottle, big aromas on the nose, big colour and especially big flavours (and yes, a big price). So, it seems entirely appropriate that it should deserve a big score. An inky, opaque maroon here, this nose seems saturated in aromatic flavours – coffee beans, espresso, dark chocolate, black fruits, mocha, licorice, soy and cloves. Big in every way! The more time in glass, the more the chocolatey notes emerged on the nose. Rich and ripe, that chocolate dominated the palate as well – a wine that seems like molten chocolate. Fine and silky tannins, great intensity and immaculate balance, this is very, very long. Just delicious and I loved it. A twenty year proposition.
