Shanahans “If Forever Exists” Shiraz 2022 Barossa Valley

Shanahans ‘If Forever Exists’ Shiraz 2022 Barossa Valley

Deep garnet with impressive colour saturation and youthful density.

The aromatic profile is brooding and layered, revealing blackberry, black plum and cassis interwoven with dark cocoa, liquorice root and finely ground spice

The palate is commanding and architecturally structured, delivering dense black fruit concentration supported by firmly sculpted tannins of impressive grain and authority. Acidity threads cleanly beneath the fruit weight, providing vertical lift and precision. Mid-palate expansion reveals layers of dark chocolate, spice and savoury mineral nuance, while oak is seamlessly absorbed into the wine’s structural framework. The finish is exceptionally long, tightening gradually with fine phenolic grip and poised tension.

Vino Masters Score: 95 / 100
