Description
An absolutely magnificent Barossa Shiraz with several 95-97pt scores. “What a powerhouse of opulence and concentration is this plush and super-saturated Barossa Shiraz from this very good year. Loaded with blackcurrant and spicy plum, licorice and dark syrup chocolate with a slightly limestone ferrous thread. So seamlessly balanced with a persistent and urgent finish. This is luxury. 97pts.” (Ray Jordan).
“Old vine Barossa Shiraz from a stellar vintage – what more could you want? Under cork. An opaque maroon, this is a powerful style, concentrated and muscular. The nose offers notes of soy, cloves, black olives, chocolate, kirsch, leather, warm earth and cassis. This is seamless, with some serious intensity lasting all the journey. Good focus, silky tannins, such impressive length and what a future. This has fifteen years ahead, at the very least. There are hints of roast meats emerging on the palate too. Stunning stuff.” 95pts (Ken Gargett, WinePilot). 1847 is an independent brand but operated out of Chateau Yaldara. "Tucked away in the southern subregion of Lyndoch lie the impressive old buildings of Chateau Yaldara. Originally established in 1854 as a flour mill…" (Halliday).
