2021 Langmeil Pure Eden Shiraz, Barossa Valley

Deep-ish red tinged with purple, not as saturated as some of its brethren, while the bouquet is all about a hot summer's day in a eucalypt forest. Earth, undergrowth, subtle gumleaf and mint, the palate beautifully concentrated and deep, dense and fleshy, with graphite tannins holding the structure firm and upright. Masses of supple tannins which are ripe and smooth textured. This is a big wine with real elegance and balance, hand in hand with its obvious depth and concentration. 04 DEC 2023 Drink 2024–2039

Medium to deep crimson with purple hues. An alluring bouquet of red and blue fruits leap from the glass with roasty, savoury notes and hints of black olive, cedar, earthiness and white pepper. A medium to full-bodied wine with juicy Satsuma plum and raspberry fruits with plenty of velvety tannins adding structure and texture to the wine. Sweet and briary spices balance the juicy fruit with a subtle cedar note carrying through to the finish.
