2022 Mystery Barossa Shiraz Deal No. 19

94 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Richly ripe and inviting, the bouquet shows blackberry, sweet raspberry, floral, star anise and roasted hazelnut aromas. The palate delivers excellent fruit intensity, together with supple texture and fine-grained tannins, finishing wonderfully long and delicious.

Ray Jordan - Winepilot

Here is a slightly different take on the opulent concentration you expect from the Barossa. This is smooth and effortlessly presented with an almost languid plush palate. The fruits reveal more blueberry and red fruit characters but then a trace of blackberry intrudes with some subtle spices and cloves. The lightly toasted oak adds the finishing touch.

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

A bright, quit opulent display of Doris plum, blueberry and boysenberry fruits with hints of cedar, vanilla bean, dark chocolate, brandied fruits, violets and earth. Full bodied, with very much a blueberry pie vibe on the palate, fine, gypsum-dust tannins and some toasty oak on the fade out.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

This is a firm, rich, warm red wine with asphalt, mint, vanilla and scorched plum flavours as the drivers. The alcohol is prominent, the fruit lacks freshness and the tannin is wrenchingly firm, but it has ample heft and every sip feels imposing. It will drink at its best on a cold, dark, wintry night.
