Is William Randell Shiraz a good wine?
Tasting profile
An inky, full-bodied Barossa Shiraz with a fragrant nose of ripe dark cherry, raspberry, smoke, tar and pepper spice, layered with black fruit, dark chocolate and sweet oak. Concentrated yet silky-tannined, finishing long and fruit-driven - a rich, powerful red that pairs well with spiced or hearty fare.

“Espetacular. Um vinho extraordinário. Australiano, com a uva emblemática daquele País, a Shiraz. Graduação alcoólica 15,9 graus. Um dos melhores vinhos que tomei na vida. Sensacional!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The wine is restrained at first but opens up in the glass. Dark cherry and plum are the primary fruit characters with subtle vanilla and chocolate characters adding to the inviting aroma. A delicious rhubarb like character runs the length of the palate. The wine has ample tannin but it is supple and velvety. Restrained vanilla and creamy oak characters fill the midpalate. The wine finishes elegantly with intensity of tannin and flavour.
