Lot 344
2018 Eden Valley of the Barossa Shiraz (95-points)
Description
As brash and explosive wine as this wine is, it never exceeds its boundaries. The bouquet is redolent with coconut, toffee and graham cracker bass notes enveloping a core of ripe bourbon-soaked cherry with an amalgam of chocolate cake and plum reduction complexed with mint, lavender and thyme florals. Liquid sex on the palate, sensuous and juicy but powerfully structured and intense with lush fruit and oak beautifully entwined. The finish is a fabulously rich yet perfectly-attenuated magic carpet ride, a master class in world-class winemaking.
