Probefl. 2016 Thorn-Clarke 'Shotfire' Shiraz - Barossa Valley

100% Shiraz - 14 Monate Fassausbau (40% neu) - 91 Pkt Parker - 93 Pkt Halliday

Dieser Wein ist soeben erst eingetroffen und wir konnten ihn noch nicht ausgiebig für eine Beschreibung probieren.
Robert Parker: Ripe, dark-fruited and sexy, the 2016 Shotfire Shiraz spent 14 months in American oak (40% new). Blackberries, cola and baking spices pick up hints of vanilla, while the full-bodied palate offers soft supple tannins and a long finish."
James Halliday: "Opaque purple-red with a vibrant hue. Fresh blackcurrant fruit, a ripple of raspberry brightness and plenty of vanilla from 40% new American hogsheads, which also add grainy tannins. This helps to corset the wine into a medium-bodied, more athletic shape."
