Note di degustazione
Opaque violet. Smoke-accented cherry, dark berry preserve, fruitcake and incense aromas are complemented by suggestions of vanilla, cola and baking spices. Fleshy and expansive on the palate, offering alluringly sweet black and blue fruit, vanilla, exotic spice and dark chocolate flavors and repeating smokiness. Displays excellent clarity and spicy lift on the impressively long, smooth finish, which features polished tannins and reverberating blue fruit and floral notes. All French oak, 49% of it new.

Aged 16 months in French oak (49% new). Knee-weakening fruit – such purity and juiciness. Plenty of chewy tannin, but this is highly drinkable even now. However, there's no doubt that the best is yet to come in terms of complexity. (RH)
The 2020 RWT Shiraz Bin 798 is a powerhouse of bloody fruit and firm tannin. It veritably explodes from the blocks, showing plum skin, raspberry leaf, blackberry, mulberry, lashings of salted licorice and rendered lamb fat. I am coming to love (in a big and serious way) the Barossa Shiraz' bottlings from 2020—the year was significantly down in yields, warm and dry, and responsible for wines of muscle, density and gravitas. So, too, for this wine. Excellent.
The 2020 RWT is a bold, Barossan expression that delivers lashings of sweet flavour. Highly expressive, it explodes with plush, open knit, mulberry, blackberry, licorice and inky fruits. A distinct chocolatey richness and powerful oak are well matched thanks to16 months in French oak hogsheads, 49% new. The warm dry vintage then delivers an immense core of tannins with a line of peppery/meaty flavours over luscious chocolate and blueberry displaying exceptional length. This is a big wine, built for the long haul.
