2010 Yangarra Estate Ironheart Shiraz 750ml

Awards, Ratings & Reviews 94/100 — Ben Edwards, Halliday Wine Companion · 2010 Vintage “Deep colour, bright; an uncompromising bouquet of essence red and dark fruits, with licorice and tar also on display; the palate is finely poised as the fresh acidity plays the perfect foil to the ample and chewy, medium-grained tannins that simply roll around the mouth, and provide a long and distinguished finish.” Published: July 2021 94/100 — The Wine Front · 2010 Vintage 16.5/20 — Jancis Robinson · 2010 Vintage Tasted: May 2024 When to drink: 2016–2026 James Suckling · 2010 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2022 “This has developed a savory nose of olives, smoked meat, white pepper, black fruit and dried herbs. It's silky and flavorful, with a medium body and excellent freshness. Lengthy and tasty finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.
