2014 Best's Bin 1 Shiraz, Great Western

An intense perfume of dried flowers, aniseed and blueberry is enveloped with notes of bitter chocolate, savoury spices and pepper. Smooth and succulent flavours of blueberry and plum careen along with the fine grained tannins and mineral acid dominate the palate. The core of lush fruit finishes with a drying savoury finish. 2017 Wine Companion:

‘Medium to full-bodied with licorice, dark cherry and plum building the main tent of flavour; clove and eucalypt as the guy ropes; tannin stake it all firm. Outside of flavour descriptors the best way to describe this wine is to say: it will mature beautifully over 15-20 years but it's going to prove extremely difficult to keep your hands from it, even now in its youth.’
