Lot 354
2021 Barossa Valley Centenarian Vine Shiraz

Squid ink in the glass, this visually impenetrable wine surprises with a ripe, expressive nose. It's rich and meaty with dark chocolate, coffee bean, savory leather and peppery cedar notes surrounding layers of blackberry jam, plum fruit and raspberry kirsch over a core of granite and limestone that beautifully complexes the bouquet. Powerful on entry yet silky smooth and generous, the palate oozes with hedonistic richness. Ripe plum, cedar and chocolate notes swirl with pepper and mineral-laden tannins providing excellent structure and tension in a super sexy mid-palate and long, mouthwatering finish. Powerful and rich yet velvety smooth with lots of spice, this is a massively appealing glass of wine!

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 3 reviews.

Easy Drinker

"Nice flavor, no heat, balanced, not over oaked. Easy drinker."

Jim A. (5/5)

Transcendent

"Big very ripe Shiraz that hits all the tight notes on day 1; day 2 integrated a bit better but I actually find the brashness of day 1 more appealing."

Alexander S. (5/5)

A great wine shared with life long friends

"After holding for several months, opened the first bottles when lifelong friends visited prior to our traveling together on vacation. Great wine for great friend enjoyment!"
