Tasting note
Barossa Shiraz should open with blackberry, dark cherry and black pepper, with a fragrant savory note beneath. The 2015 Black Sparkling Shiraz is expected to combine ripe berry flavor with a lively, fine bead and a rounded, full palate. Its strongest period has passed, though the window continues through 2029; expect a lingering close where dark fruit, spice and gentle sweetness sit against a dry finish.
