Iggy Maywald 1926 Syrah 2022
$90, 14.5% alc, DIAM cork, Barossa Valley.

This is a rich, voluptuous Barossa Valley shiraz with excellent concentration of fruit, impressive overall balance and enough complexity to keep you both satisfied and interested. It tastes of blackberry, peppercorn, malt, toast and turned earth, with a black licorice note then rising as the wine breathes. This wine was neither fined nor filtered; it lays down Barossa Shiraz in pure, saturated terms. It’s a full-bodied red wine, and velvety one at that. 94 points.
