2014 Mystery Barossa Cabernet Shiraz Deal No. 51

96 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Gorgeously maturing and immensely attractive, the wine shows dark berry, cigar box, smoked game and mocha notes on the nose, leading to a powerfully graceful palate offering wonderful weight and expansive mouthfeel. Brilliantly structured by fine polished tannins, finishing delicious and persistent.

Classic Aussie red blend of Cabernet and Shiraz from the Barossa. Big, bold, full of flavour and generosity. The first impression is of a bottle that could do a stint in the weights room. Deep red hue in the centre with hints of maturity now emerging on the rim. The wine does exhibit some development on the nose and complexity is already evident. With aromas of warm earth and waxy red fruits, this has depth, balance and concentration. A fine example of what the Barossa does well. Quite silky on the palate, and loads of tannins are apparent, but they are rather seductive and it lingers with persistence. Lots to like here, and it has another five years or more of pleasure ahead of it.
