Silken Beastie Shiraz, Barossa Valley
Still very young, this may ultimately overtake the 2018. A backward nose of complex black fruit including pepper, blackberry, cassis, cherry and plum, alongside barrel notes of vanilla, clove, anise and smoke. The promise of tightly wound concentrated fruit is incredible. So much going on with massive length – and copious amounts of tannin – that this will continue to improve for many, many years. 2025-2035 – MP
Silken Beastie Shiraz, Barossa Valley
This is heavenly. A nose of cassis, baking spice, vanilla, leather, tar, sweaty saddles, iodine, white pepper, mint, bay and blueberry jam. Stay with it; this is exceptionally complete, boasting a broad palate of black fruit, chocolatey oak influence, then tertiary notes of mushroom, wet leaves, coffee and nutmeg. Drinking well now and completely gorgeous. 2022-2026 – MP
