2004 Bogan Shiraz
As is often the way in the Barossa, a burst of warm weather can define a season and 2004 was a classic. All in all the season was pretty perfect, with good rains at the right times.
Nose is generous, with, baked plums, blueberry and cola. The oak shows quite spicy with a bit of mocha and chocolate on the back palate. Quite accessible as a young wine. Baked dark fruits and chocolate. A little sooty at the end with a nice twist from a small percentage of viognier that I was trying to hide but keeps poking its head up. Structure is plump with a good length of aftertaste
The Bogan is designed to highlight the unmistakeable synergy between Barossa Shiraz and good quality American oak. This is very much the new Australian style.
