Schild Estate Shiraz Ben Schild Reserve Barossa Valley

vanilla, cherry ripe, develops barnyard as breathes. Nice drinking in the muscular Barossa style.

Very nice wine with plum and dark fruit fruit flavors and some light vanilla (i.e. oak) and spice as well. Dark purple in the glass with a medium finish. Went very nicely with a Grilled Applewood bacon smoked pork loin.

Poped and poured. Soft sweet nose that makes the mouth water. It is quite dark and full throttle. I see no reason to hold as this probably wont get any better.

To me, this wine is a very nice expression of Australian value. The fruit comes first and that's nice. It's an Australian so a bit of a mouthful of alcohol next. Then a sort of balanced stillness. This is very good for the price- I don't think many would speak poorly of this wine.

Unscrewed and poured. Purple/garnet hue. Grapey aromas with some notes of pepper & roasted meats, almost like a 2003 or other ripe vintage Côtes du Rhône. Medium bodied. All-in-all, much more Australian on the palate, with ripe red and black fruits dominating through the finish. Spicier notes developed later after some time in the bottle. Good food wine. Not as complex as Schild's excellent Shiraz.

excellent nose of dark red berries with a silky smooth finish. great value for the money.
