Tasting Notes
The Dandelion Lionheart of the Barossa Shiraz opens with an opulent, brooding nose of dark plum, blackberry compote, and crushed violets, underscored by a seductive waft of dark chocolate and cedar. On the palate, this wine lives up to its regal name — full-bodied and commanding, with layers of black cherry, boysenberry, and roasted meat that unfold with impressive depth. Velvety, well-integrated tannins carry the wine through a mid-palate of mocha, cracked black pepper, and a whisper of smoked charcuterie. The finish is long, warm, and persistent, with lingering spice and dark fruit that speak unmistakably of the Barossa's ancient, low-yielding Shiraz vines.
