Joshua Cooper - Blanche Barkley Old Vines Shiraz
Immediately aromatic and spicy. Think bright black and white peppercorns, creamy black cherry and raspberry fruit, and liquorice strap with a potpourri lift and ironstone complexity - all gaining depth with aeration. The palate is bright fruited, fleshy and full - speaking of the cool site and season in a warm region. Black cherry and liquorice lead, again backed by pepper and spice, framed by the dense tannic structure from these old dry-grown vines. A very Burgundy-style Shiraz.
- Varietal: Shiraz
- Region: Macedon Ranges, VIC
- Vintage: 2023
- ABV: 13.5%
- Size: 750ml
