2017 Mystery Barossa Valley Shiraz Deal No. 6497

96 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Gorgeously maturing with seductive complexity, the wine shows dark fruit richness, warm spice, dried flower and assorted nut characters on the nose. It's equally satisfying in the mouth with terrific weight and intensity, wonderfully framed by loads of silky tannins, finishing long and gratifying.

This is a cracking wine sourced from the Barossa. The concentration and power of the fruit has meant a decent hit of oak has been required. It’s gobbled it up easily, with the 24 months maturation in a mix of used and 34% new French working in seamlessly. Red berry and dark chocolate with a spicy edge creates a harmonious mix that is full-bodied yet soft and generous.
