Sir Ian Botham Barossa Valley Single Vineyard Shiraz 2019
£42.50
Lord Botham has made his Barossa Valley Shiraz in the style that the Barossa is world-famous for, it is robust and full-bodied with a firm yet fine tannin finish.
The Shiraz has an intense colour which is an attractive deep ruby-purple. On the nose, it is rich plum, complex mocha – chocolate and spicy fruit with integrated light vanillin oak and a hint of anise.
The Sir Ian Shiraz is soft and full flavoured with lengthy fine-grain tannins. The flavours of fruity spice, coffee, chocolate and blackberry carry through onto the lengthy and persistent palate.
Drinking well now but this will evolve beautifully over the next 5-8 years. Decant before serving.
