Jacob’s Creek Double Barrel Barossa Shiraz 1st Vintage 2012
“Double barrel” refers to initial maturation in American oak barrels, before further ageing in old Scotch whisky barrels. Despite the idea of all that oak, this shiraz is actually all about fruit. It has an appealing blackberry pie and cream nose, touched by spice, aniseed and chocolate. The medium weight palate is smooth and lingering, backed by dry tannin grip.
