Yalumba Samuel's Collection Barossa Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (Australia)

Description

Blackberry, Plum, Spice

"Gorgeously composed and expressed, showing blackcurrant, dark plum, thyme, star anise and cedar characters on the nose. The palate offers excellent concentration and refined mouthfeel, splendidly framed by silky texture and chalky tannins, finishing robust and sturdy" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2024

"Full, deep ruby-red with a garnet-purple hue, even colour throughout. The nose is full and opulent, with aromas of black plum, blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, mint and star anise. Full-bodied, aromas of black plum, blackcurrant and blackberry are fresh, enriched by cedar, mint, star anise and cocoa. The rich mouthfeel is packed with finely woven tannins, leaving a sandy texture. The concentration of fruit and oak spices contributes to complexity. This is a bold, rich red blend with power and balanced fruit and oak details" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Dec 2024

"Aromas and flavours of licorice and black currant, toasty vanilla laved wood scents, pepper spice and a natural earth and leather quality. Firm and dry on the palate, youthful with a core of ripe blackcurrant and ark berry fruit flavours, some floral highlights. Acidity sets the backbone of this wine in place with ripe fruit flavours for contrast and depth. Well made with a fairly lengthy finish and offering great drinking from 2023 through 2027+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2023

Inviting and soft on the palate. Redcurrants with rum and raisin are followed by cedar notes. After a moment the wine shows itself to be generous and ethereal as it reveals plum, anise, vanilla, white pepper and red fruit aromas. With a perfectly balanced and silky palate, it offers good length and great drinkability.
