Thorn-Clarke William Randell Winemakers Small Batch Selection Shiraz 2022, Barossa Valley

From the cracking 2022 vintage. $120, and it drinks like it.

Deep, opaque crimson with a purple core. Blackberry, black plum and blueberry, then liquorice, dark chocolate, cracked pepper and a little cedar. Rich, powerful and packed. Dense dark fruit on a plush, structured frame. Fine tannin doing the work, oak folding in mocha, cocoa and savoury spice. Exceptionally long blueberry spiced finish.

Vino Masters Score: 98/100 ★★★★★ An impressive Barossa Shiraz combining exceptional concentration and layered dark-fruit complexity
