2015 Mystery Barossa Shiraz Deal No. 6109

Aroma: A bold, fragrant bouquet dominated by dried blackberries, dark plums, and blueberries. There are underlying layers of vanilla bean, licorice, and a distinct "dusty cedar" or boot-polish note from the oak. Palate: Full-bodied and intense, yet with the characteristic "Eight Songs" silkiness. It features a rich explosion of dark chocolate and black fruits. The 2015 vintage is noted for having firm, sinewy tannins that give it a structured, upright shape rather than being flabby. Finish: Long, savory, and chewy with integrated notes of cloves, earth, and a smudge of mocha.
