Heirloom Vineyards A’Lambra Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022 (6 Bottles) South Australia

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Super-dark and deep; concentrated, bright vermillion and dark blue-magenta tinges. Aromatic and highly perfumed. Plums and minerals are perfectly underscored by low-resolution French oak and spice. Not too much, not too little. Dried figs, thyme and pastrami, bay leaf and rosemary – just picked and handled gently, not crushed. Structured Palate.

The abundant fruit flavours tend to the savoury side – all black and dark berries spinning in a fine coil of mid-palate power. Grainy and minerally tannins add a drying textural component. This counters the depth of the darkly-veiled fruits neatly. Acid is similarly neat, tucked in at the edges, carrying the bright black fruit flavours to a long finish. There is a succulence and refinement, but hidden power and balancing tannins.
