Reviews of Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart Of The Barossa Shiraz 2018
If you like wood-flavoured wines, this is perfect.
From Dandelion Vineyards it is the best I've drunk.
- Lifted blue fruits, blood plum, ripe blackberries and Christmas pudding-like spice flow out of the glass with spicy pepper, and hints of bramble and dark chocolate.
- Generous mouth filling sweet blackberry, raspberry and plums cover the palate with lashings of sweet spice.
- Firm but fine tannins and dark chocolaty nuances continue throughout the lengthy palate with a youthful finish.
