this classic barrel-fermented 'best of the best' Shiraz comes from a dozen or so top vineyards

Once again there is enough reduction to mask the nuances of the underlying fruit

Delaforce other_regions_australia (from Les Trois FollotsFull medium ruby. Roasted black raspberry and cassis lifted by musky espresso and an exotic smoky, peaty element. Dense and rich; sweet and approachable but with shape and grip. A bit youthfully grapey in the mouth, with smoke and earth notes. Finishes with building, slightly austere tannins and very good length. Stephen Tanzer
