Water Wheel Baringhup Shiraz 2018 14.9% 6x75cl

"92 points. Opaque, but lighter on its feet than the Bendigo colour infers. Saturated, mouthfilling dark fruit persuasions; the tannins taut, coffee-grind and juicy, juggling the hedonic explosion of excess with aplomb. American oak working well here. The end product is delicious." James Halliday's Wine Companion

Heady dark plum, liquorice and black cherry aromas mix with toasty vanillin oak and spice. Full bodied, very rich and opulently textured the palate is awash with lavish black cherry, liquorice and blackberry fruits, toasty vanillin oak and spice characters. A burst of blackpepper makes an appearance on the long decadent aftertaste. This one's a keeper.
