Ranked #19 of 131 2010 Shiraz from Barossa Valley
97/100
5 Stars
Huon Hooke
Very dark, dense purple/red, formidable colour. Lots of oak, but also lots of spice. Very fleshy, silky-smooth and supple. A gorgeously textured wine, supple and rounded, harmonious and despite its size, has a lot of elegance. Very fine and harmonious with great length and balance throughout the palate and aftertaste. Outstanding wine.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 RWT Shiraz is a little closed showing intense and youthful primary aromas of cassis, kirsch, cedar, prunes and a touch of mulberries. Rich, muscular, packed with flavor, it is full-bodied, concentrated and finishes long with oak still poking out. Very youthful still, it will drink from 2014 to 2026+.
