Winery: Wolf Blass
Region: Barossa Valley, South Australia
Variety: Shiraz
 
Your Wine Guy says:
Made in extremely limited quantities from low yielding vines,each separate parcel of fruit is fermented and matured separately and it is only after approximately 20 months of this maturation in new and one year-old French barriques that the final blend for this ultra limited wine is completed.
Intensely fragrant nose shows lifted, spicy, aromas of ripe berries and dark chocolate. The super concentrated palate explodes with layered flavours of blackberry, freshly ground coffee, spice and beautifully integrated oak. This wine has seamless integration, a velvety wine with rich intensity, excellent palate length and fine long tannins.

Critics say:
Simultaneously sumptuous and elegant, this vibrant, dark-fruited shiraz marries its brightly lit, spicy and peppery flavours of mulberries, blackberries, dark plums and blueberries with lightly toasty, charry and vanilla oak, that suggests just a hint of caramel. It’s musky and heady, while its lavishly sweet-fruited palate has a meaty and very slightly cooked aspect that compromises neither brightness nor intensity. Supported by fine-grained, powdery tannin, it’s long, persistent and admirably balanced.

“Dense and thick with blue and black fruits, toasty mocha oak and little menthol floating about. Like sniffing at the closed door of a kitchen in anticipation of a great meal to come. On the palate full bodied with palate saturating fine tannin and extract offering flavours of dark fruit, mocha and spice. It has great weight and balance although currently feels a little leaden and solid. Remarkable length of flavour. Needs lots of time. Will it ever be an exciting wine? Perhaps.”
94 Points Drink 2015 – 2030 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

“A deep and densely flavoured wine, with abundant black fruits and dark chocolate overtones; excellent control of tannin and oak, with some barrel ferment hints.”
94 Points Drink 2025 James Halliday
