Plush heady notes of plum, currant and licorice open this powerful and polished Shiraz. There're also hefty helpings of savory, peppery spice. The palate is cinched by massive, drying, spicy tannins amid the silky fruit. A plate of protein is a requirement if drinking now, but this really needs a few years—from 2035 onwards—in cellar before opening to soften those tannins. Then it could age gracefully for a decade beyond that. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
