Grant Burge Filsell Shiraz

Varietal: Shiraz
Current Vintage: 2010*
Size: 750mL

Grant Burge reds always display classic Barossa style. This Shiraz has all the hallmarks with ripe cherry fruit smoky overtones and a good measure of sweet vanillin oak. In recent years has really began to hit its straps and with the last few Barossa vintages being on the warm side, this is a wine for the 'old school' Shiraz lover.

This wine sets the template for what great Barossa Shiraz looks like at its best. Concentrated black fruits with impenetrable and effortless length. Superb; vintage, depth, and wine.

Toasty mocha oak, spice, blackberry, raspberry, boysenberry (mainly) - firm but chalky fine tannin, polished and lively, clean lines and good delivery. Ripe but controlled. It's still oaky, but less than it was, and good at what it does. An excellent release. Should age surely.

Best of both worlds. Dark in colour, lots of malty oak, ripe and substantial. And yet - the fruit itself has an elegance. And it's arguably the most poised slash controlled red I've seen out of the Grant Burge stable for some time. It's fresh too. And after clubbing you around the ears with oak on opening - the longer it sits in the glass, the more sawdusty and cedary the oak seems. i.e. lovers of Filsell expect a hit of oak and they'll sure get it here, but the style has been finessed. I did not walk away from this bottle displeased.

Another cracking release from Mr Burge; aromas of blackberry and plum come through strongly on a full-bodied palate, with fine savoury tannins tidying up the fruit nicely.

It's big and blokey but it has a feeling of completeness that is hard to go past. Lashings of velvety tannin. Lashings of plummy, spearminty fruit. Coffeed, almost gluey, oak laid on thick. Excellent length. And its alcohol warmth tucked nicely in behind the fruit. A perfect demonstration of the old-fashioned, oak-thick Barossa shiraz style.
