Tasting note
Coonawarra Shiraz should open with blackberry, dark cherry and pepper, followed by a cool herbal note. The 2023 Bowen Estate is expected to feel supple yet structured, its smooth tannins holding ripe fruit while a bright thread of acidity animates the palate. Peak maturity runs from 2028 to 2037, with a horizon of 2042; dark berry, spice and a gently savory edge should linger on the finish.
