Description
"Very deep and bright purple-red colour, glowing in the glass. Powerful intensity of black pepper, aniseed, blackberry, dried and cured meat aromas, all in remarkable detail for such a young shiraz. Glorious mouth-filling flavour of intensity and vitality, the energy positively bursting through the mouth with vitality and persistence. A smashing shiraz now, and is sure to have a great future." - 96 points, Huon Hooke
"Impenetrable core, deep ruby to the rim. Full nose of blackberry and blueberry with roasting coffee and bitter chocolate notes. Palate holds a mirror to the nose but has further savoury meaty undertones that create a wonderful depth and umami character. Flows incredibly long, tannins finely ripened to ensure that line carries without showing any exertion, the finish a fan of complexity and poise." - 95 points, Stuart Knox
"Royal Oaks of the King’s Wood were forests planted by monarchs to build elegant cathedrals and church naves. The beautiful old French oak in our foudre vessels helps us make elegant wine by gradually polishing and protecting the brightest, spiciest south facing Shiraz we grow at Yangarra. Powerful, elegant and aromatic. Brambly red and blueberry fruit, winter spices, liquorice, black cherry. Balanced textural palate." - Yangarra
