The Story

Enormously flavoursome with rich fruit characters of black cherry, plum and ripe berries. American oak adds nuances of vanilla, cigar box, coffee and toast.

Written Notes

The twin sibling of the Cabernet and for me, the pick of the pair. Cloves, leather, spices, cassis, black fruits, dark plums. This is generous and rich with good intensity. Very well balanced – in fact, it does not put a foot wrong. Excellent length. A very more-ish wine. Deserving of the seemingly endless gongs it has picked up around the world – the Cab has done pretty well too.

Score: 95/100

Best drinking: the next ten to fifteen years.

Ultra ambitious Shiraz from Taylors. I admire it, even though it’s not my style at all (and not sure I could drink much). Deep purple, lavish vanilla bean oak dominates the nose and palate, generous and very smooth purple berry palate is a silken flow of juicy berries. The oak is way too dominant, but that flow of red fruit can’t be denied. Very full bodied, very luscious but in its mode this molten, chunky wine is still very appealing (if oaky). Best drinking: I’d wait five years before attacking again. Then it will go for twenty years. 18/20, 93/100+. 14.5%, $70. Would I buy it? Not yet.
