2020 The Goose Yard Shiraz

** 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY VINTAGE **

The Real Review – Aaron Brasher
92pts
Dense, dark, opaque and inky in the glass. Heady aromas of prune, mulberry, stewed satsuma plum, milk chocolate, sweet spice and oak. Full bodied, plush and mouth-filling. All dark fruits, sweet oak and a brambly earthiness. The tannins are firm, structured and shapely and the acidity does its best to keep the opulent fruit under control. Big-time, brazen, old-school Barossa shiraz.

Wine Companion – Dave Brookes
95pts
Shiraz sourced from the Block 2 vineyard at Schubert's Roennfeldt Road estate in Marananga. It's a traditionally framed Barossan wine with ripe plum, kirsch and cassis fruit tones wrapped in hints of fruitcake spice, olive tapenade, roasting meats, leather, dried tobacco leaf, cedar and dried cranberry. There's a soothing, calming flow to the proceedings, fine silty tannins and elegant dark and black fruits, oak spice and dried meats as the wine slowly fades.
