[SOLD-OUT] St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2009

Gary Walsh 94 points!
"Never seen so much Barossa wine come through my front door (and office door for that matter) than at the moment. I tasted this at a lunch thingo the other week, and while hasty tasting is not my preferred method for evaluating cellar-worthy wines, it certainly takes up a lot less room and resources. This Blackwell comes from the Ebenezer, Seppeltsfield and Greenock sub-regions of the Barossa.

Plenty of roast coconut oak, blackberry (nip), the perfume of lemon zest and flowers with a surprisingly juicy palate, given the brooding density the nose might suggest " it's more cherries with fresh acidity (not too forced either) and plenty of powdery tannins. You'd think it might cellar pretty well too. Large scale, robust and full-flavoured, but not leaden. An impressive wine within its style.
