Yalumba Samuels Collection Barossa Shiraz 2022

A moreish Barossa Shiraz that is approachable, full-bodied and fleshy. Deep and brooding with aromas of dark fruits, red spices, anise and ripe cherries, the palate flows with even texture towards a soft finish.

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Aromas and flavours of licorice and black currant, toasty vanilla laved wood scents, pepper spice and a natural earth and leather quality. Firm and dry on the palate, youthful with a core of ripe blackcurrant and ark berry fruit flavours, some floral highlights. Acidity sets the backbone of this wine in place with ripe fruit flavours for contrast and depth. Well made with a fairly lengthy finish and offering great drinking from 2023 through 2027+."

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Sweetly ripe and perfumed on the nose showing Black Doris plum, raspberry, violet, tar and roasted nut characters, followed by a beautifully weighted palate delivering excellent weight and fleshy texture. Harmonious and generous with elegant power and persistency."

The winery writes "Deep, dark, purple red in colour. Deliciously brooding aromatics of ripe plum, spicy red currants, anise and dark chocolate. A complex wine with savoury spices, ironstone and lots of dark fruits. This is a full bodied, generously flavoured classic Barossa Shiraz."
