Grant Burge Meshach 2014

Still full of youthful power, reflecting the message of the dark crimson-purple colour. It spent 2 years in oak, and then held for 3 years maturation in the Grant Burge cellars prior to release. This has opened the door of a Barossa Valley shiraz of undeniable quality and longevity, the alcohol no issue whatsoever in the realm of superabundant blackberry, licorice and spice.

Medium garnet in color, the 2010 Shiraz Meshach reveals notes of black cherry compote, dried plums, mulberries and spice cake with hints of smoky bacon, cloves and Szechuan pepper. Medium-bodied, the palate is slowly evolving in typical Meshach fashion into an elegant expression of classic Barossa Shiraz with plenty of exotic spices to match the intense fruit swaddled by velvety tannins and a finish of great length.
