(2023) A Barossa Shiraz from St Hallett, who built their name on this variety and place, this cuvée aged in American and French oak for nine months. Loads of blueberry and blackcurrant richness on the nose, minty and chocolaty too, a mere suggestion of gaminess in the background. In the mouth the rich, sweet, burstingly ripe black fruit powers the mid-palate, oak, tannin and acid perhaps a little harsh. Delivers on what you would expect from a mid-price Barossa Shiraz, but the sweet-ish character and harsh finish would be smoothed by a piece of red meat protein. £14.00 Tesco Club Card price at time of review.
