Showing blue fruits of Shiraz on the nose, this Shiraz dominant blend with Cabernet is a delight of juicy driven mouth-filling pure pleasure. The small proportion of Sagrantino adds to the bouquet and tannin that adds to the lingering after taste. Slurpy and looking for the second delicious glass!
Sagrantino sups up the spicy dark berry fruit profile of the classic Barossa blend with a supercharged tannin chassis and an energetic flash of acidity. This is the first time I’ve seen this done, and it works to compelling if dramatic effect. A little less sagrantino would be more to my taste, but it certainly bodes well for the cellar.
