Bella's Garden Barossa Valley Shiraz

Still holding up

Delicious. Fruit. Spice. Drinking really well.

Deep ruby in colour. On nosing, medium plus aroma of red currant, red berries, dried rose followed by herbal and green notes then polished leather. Also earthy, sweet spices like cloves and some dried fruits . Taste with similar flavours, medium acidity, high alcohol, medium and supple tannin, medium plus body and medium plus finish. Better with some decanting but no significant change in flavours. Felt like walking into a berry garden after rain with leather tools. Excellent wine.

B 2007 vintage July 2017

Needed some decanting, but a great wine.

Huge Aussie Shiraz that still manages to tame the fruit and stay well balanced.

Initial hit of big cherry fruit followed by peppery spice and soft but not inconsequential tannins.

This Two Hands aged well, it was good young, but more refined and complex now

Blueberry pie

Delicious Shiraz, probably needs another few years to soften.
