2019 Grant Burge Shadrach Cabernet Sauvignon

94 POINTS

James Halliday - Halliday's Wine Companion

Cabernet sauvignon sourced from the Eden and Barossa valleys, matured in a mix of new and old French oak for 18 months. A deeply coloured cabernet packed with fruit characters of blackberry, blackcurrant pastille, black cherry and cassis with hints of spice, cedar, tomato leaf, dried herbs, licorice, earth, eucalypt and tobacco. Full bodied and varietally true with herb-flecked, cassis-like fruit and a blast of choc-mint oak on the palate, tight-grained tannin support and a rich, opulent sheen to the fruit as it slowly retreats from view.
