this classic barrel-fermented 'best of the best' Shiraz comes from a dozen or so top vineyards

Once again there is enough reduction to mask the nuances of the underlying fruit

The rich and supple flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also does a good job of buffering the moderately firm tannic spine shaping the complex

This too should be approachable young if desired

Delaforce other_regions_australia this classic barrel-fermented 'best ofFull medium ruby. Roasted black raspberry and cassis lifted by musky espresso and an exotic smoky, peaty element. Dense and rich; sweet and approachable but with shape and grip. A bit youthfully grapey in the mouth, with smoke and earth notes. Finishes with building, slightly austere tannins and very good length. Stephen Tanzer
