Tasting notes
Saturated violet. Lively black and blue fruit qualities on the spice-accented nose. In an energetic style, showing fine clarity to sweet blackberry and boysenberry flavors. Closes very long, appealingly sweet and seamless, with repeating spiciness and round, even tannins that come in late. This bottling always delivers serious value.

If opening the 2016 Great Western Shiraz Bin No 1 anytime soon, I'd recommend giving it a quick decanting, as it comes out of the bottle quite funky. It'll come around quickly, if my bottle was anything to judge by, revealing raspberry, cola and black olive notes, along with ground spices like cinnamon, clove and star anise. It's a medium to full-bodied, fairly structured Shiraz, with mouthwatering acids and firm tannins. Ideally, give it a couple of years in the cellar.
