Hentley Farm The Beast Shiraz 2022 (Barossa Valley)
Hentley Farm The Beast Shiraz 2022 (Barossa Valley)
Dozen Price: $1139.88
RRP: $110.00
The Beast 2022 by Hentley Farm boasts bold and complex flavors, embodying a strong concentration and richness. This robust wine is expertly balanced with soft, grippy tannins and enticing complexity. It is a traditional Barossa Valley Shiraz with dense aromas of black fruit and spices. The palate is intense and full-bodied, featuring notes of black raspberry, cedar, blackberry, and vanilla bean. The hints of dark chocolate and tobacco add depth to this exceptional wine.
"Sporting an awesome magenta-splashed crimson hue in the glass, this smells Barossa through and through. Deep, deep blackberry and satsuma fruits, studded with ironstone and hints of fruitcake spice, grilled figs, Old Gold chocolate, turned earth and roasting meats. Weighty and full-bodied, there's plenty of latent power here, balanced despite the heady 15.2% alc with fine, sedimentary tannins, leaving no doubt that it will cellar admirably.”
