JJ Hahn Reginald Barossa Shiraz Cabernet 2018

Established as a collaboration with the Hahn family in 1997, today Barossa winemaker Rolf Binder continues to produce the wines under the same label, with the JJ Hahn range now available in many countries. These are classic Barossa reds that represent exceptional drinkability and value. A full-bodied, full-flavoured classic is the promise behind the very deep brick red colour. Notes of tea leaf, cedar, sweet berries, spice, chocolate and cigar box aromas fill the glass. Ripe black forest fruits and spice are balanced by rounded tannins and seamless structure. The palate reflects the nose with flavours of cedar, stewed fruit and cigar box. Fine drying tannins. A pleasant lingering finish with restrained oak notes of mocha and tobacco. A fresh vibrant palate with good depth of flavour and layers of fruit. Very tight wine that is complex but not confusing.

Fleshy, rich and ripe. Succulent black plum and blueberry shiraz is underscored by the blackcurrant density and fine tannin profile of cabernet. Dark and milk chocolate notes are derived from both fruit and oak. Quintessential Barossa generosity, rich and ready. 91 points.
