Description

The opulent Barossa Valley Estate E&E Black Pepper Shiraz is meticulously crafted from the finest mature, independently dry-grown vineyards nestled in the northern Barossa sub-regions of Moppa and Ebenezer. These vineyards, boasting an average age exceeding 60 years, produce fruit of unparalleled power and finesse. Employing open-headed down fermenters and undergoing a carefully orchestrated aging process in a blend of new, one, and two-year-old American and French oak for a duration of 12 to 18 months, this wine emerges as an embodiment of excellence.

Distinguished by its remarkable intensity and concentration, the E&E Black Pepper Shiraz captivates the palate with notes of dark choco-berry, seductive liquorice, ripe tannins, mid-palate richness, and a nuanced undercurrent of malty oak complexity. Beyond its immediate allure, this wine is endowed with the structural attributes necessary for medium to long-term cellaring, rendering it highly coveted in the secondary market.

Review

This is a balls-to-the-wall Shiraz oozing ripe dark fruit and minty, chocolaty oak. There're subtler notes of ground coffee, bay leaf and peppercorn, but the oak and fruit rule. The palate is as rich and powerful as the nose suggests, but despite the hulk, it finds balance and tannin structure. Cut this with a knife now, but it shows aging potential over the next 7-10 years.
