Mattinson review of Hart of the Barossa Ye Brave Shiraz 2021.

Hart of the Barossa Ye Brave Shiraz 2021
$50, 14.8% alcohol, screwcap, Barossa Valley.

There’s such richness of flavour to tuck into here. This wine is thick with saturated plum, dark chocolate, licorice and earth flavours, a general toasty/creamines helping to tie it all together and, indeed, to smooth it all out. It’s firm on the finish but otherwise this warm-hearted wine is lusciously dense and powerful. It’s a Barossa Shiraz with all guns blazing. 93 points.
