Taylors Shiraz 2019

Name:Jaraman Clare Valley McLaren Vale (818)
Variety:Shiraz (17)
Producer:Taylors
Region:Australia

I tasted the 2019 vintage of this wine on 22 Jun 2021 when it was 2 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The color was quite deep ruby red. The bouquet had sweet fruity spice and vanilla oak. There was smooth berry and plum fruit, and a medium dry oak finish. This wine had medium body, and was well balanced.
I tasted the 2016 vintage of this wine on 16 Apr 2019 when it was 3 years old and gave it a rating of good-.
The colour was deep ruby red, with quite strong legs. The bouquet had strong plum fruit and chocolate tannins. There was full fruit, some earthiness, mint and pepper, and a smooth dry tannic finish. This wine had quite complex flavours, and well integrated fruit and wood

Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
