Verkostungsnotiz
Tiefdunkles Rubinrot mit schwarzem Kern und violetten Reflexen am Rand. Im Bukett intensives Aromenspiel von dunkler Kirsche, Brombeere, praliniger Mulberry, sowie Anis, Lakritze und fein eingebundener Vanille‑Eichenwürze. Im Hintergrund spielen florale Noten und balsamisch‑mineralische Nuancen. Am Gaumen vollmundig, strukturiert mit dichter Fruchtextraktion und lebendiger Säure. Feinkörnige, feinkörnige Tannine verbinden sich mit Aromen von dunkler Schokolade, Lakritz, Gewürzpaste. Lang anhaltender, konzentrierter Abgang mit mineralischer Präzision. Unbedingt 1-2 Stunden dekantieren.
Spreiseempfehlung
Empfohlene Speisenkombinationen: Lammkarree mit Kräuterkruste, Rinderbraten, gegrillte Auberginen mit Ziegenkäse oder dunkle Schokoladendesserts.

Wine Advocate Jul 2021: "Longtime readers will know of my personal fondness for this wine, going back nearly to its first vintage, the 1997. That said, the 2019 RWT Shiraz Bin 798 continues this wine's impressive run, artfully combining hedonistic waves of mixed fruit with the balancing and structural effects of 18 months in French oak hogsheads (57% new, with the balance second-fill). Dark chocolate and vanilla notes join blackberries and plums on the concentrated, full-bodied palate, picking up hints of coffee, black olives and licorice on the long, silky-textured finish. This should easily age up to two decades."

"Rich and succulent, oozing with milk chocolate, salted caramel and kirsch flavors, with dense and toothsome tannins that are polished and refined. Blackberry and spiced plum flavors show clove, cumin and white pepper accents, with a sweet note of spearmint lingering on the long, expressive finish."

"A strident RWT with a regional signature of tar and coal smoke to the ripe plums and blackberries. Such intense, ripe dark-plum and blackberry drive on powerful, deep-set tannins that run long through the finish. Contained power. Drink over the next decade."

"The depth of big bass notes shows the presence of Marananga fruit in the rich blend, rounding out a completely seductive portrait of Shiraz. It’s highly fragrant, with notes of sage over redcurrant and lush purple berries, while the rich mid-palate rolls effortlessly in the mouth, before elegant oak binds it all to ensure a dry, savoury finish. Its easy marriage of style and substance is most alluring."
