JE The Pinnacle Barossa Shiraz 2017
Deep garnet with ruby edges. A powerful aromatic mix of blackberry, dark plum and black cherry, layered with black pepper, dark chocolate, smoky oak and earthy, savoury undertones.
Big, bold and unapologetically Barossa. At 16% alcohol, this is a powerhouse of flavour. Rich blackberry and dark plum roll across a dense, concentrated palate, joined by roasted coffee bean, dark chocolate and a distinctive Sambuca-like liquorice character. Firm, mature tannins provide plenty of grip, while integrated oak and balanced acidity hold everything together. The finish is long, warming and deeply satisfying, with lingering dark fruits, mocha and savoury spice.
If you love a big Barossa Shiraz with nine years of maturity behind it, this is the one. An absolute blockbuster.
Vino Masters Score: 97/100 ★★★★★ Powerful. Decadent. Unforgettable. Drink: Now to 2040.
