2021 Grant Burge Filsell Shiraz, Barossa Valley

Deep crimson with aromas of blackberry, macerated plums, boysenberry and kirsch with hints of baking spices, dark chocolate, earth, pepper, violets, olive tapenade and chocolate-dipped cherries. Full bodied with dabs of creamy vanillin oak on the palate, tight, fine sandy tannins and a finish that trails away, showing notes of macerated summer berry fruits, spice and earth speaking truly of its regional origins.

Deep, dark, dense with crimson hue. Brilliant and bright. Concentrated and lifted red and dark cherry with subtle dried spices of cinnamon and nutmeg. Star anise, juniper and hazel nut liquor flow across dark cherry and continues with chocolate espresso like flavours that combine with dense, tight tannins that show direction and velvet to silky texture that continues driving into a very long and fulfilling finish.
