2020 Chateau Tanunda Terroirs of the Barossa Eden Valley Shiraz

Midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Intense liquorice, black cherry and dark plum scents fill the nostrils pursued by some toasty vanillin cedar, fennel and blackpepper notes. Rich and plush the full bodied palate is generously endowed with liquorice, black cherry and dark plum fruits which meld into a toasty vanillin cedar, fennel and peppered earth back drop. Sturdy underbelly with velvet like tannins. Finishes long and lush.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.9%

Other Reviews….
Shiraz sourced from the cool climes of the Eden Valley; aged in oak for 18 months. Blackberry, boysenberry and dark plum characters are supported by an array of fine spice, licorice, charcuterie and dark chocolate with lighter notes of sage and wild herbs. Tight, fine tannin provides support and bright acidity the pulse. The wine lingers persistently, showing lovely fruit purity and grace. Drink by 2032.
