Thorn Clarke William Randell Shiraz 2012 750ml, Barossa Valley

Expert Reviews

Wine Spectator - 92 pts - Supple and expressive, with a layer of firm tannins, showing tea leaf and tar overtones to the dark berry and spice flavors. Comes together harmoniously on the long, expressive finish. Best from 2016 through 2022. 1,000 cases made. -HS, Web only 201

James Halliday's Wine Companion - 93 pts - Seems to have looked to McLaren Vale and borrowed some of that region's dark chocolate signature, but also added the depth of Barossa Valley shiraz in a top vintage, and thrown in a bucket of firm, savoury/earthy tannins for good measure. Demands further time in bottle.5 Date tasted 1 Sep 2014. Drink by 2037
