With a brighter personality compared to its 2018 sibling, this Yelland & Papps Limited Cuvee 2019 stands with arms wide open possessing interest and vibe. Oozing moreishness, this is a classy old school Shiraz.
From 1960s vines planted in the Barossa sub-region of Greenock, the two releases are certainly two very different wines. The colour of this 2019 captures the eye immediately. Polished through the mouth with a fabulous depth and blanket of comforting warmth, ripples of delicate spices really show their hand here.
Baked blueberries, mulberries and dark plums muse with a little clove, licorice and some dark soy for good measure. Dark chocolate and chocolate brownie swoop late with cedar and five spice. But that length! It just purrs. Delightful drinking be sure to decant well for best results. Find me with a glass or two chilling out in front of a fire on a cool evening.
Drink to ten years+
