    Lambert Estate 2017 The Family Tree Shiraz (Barossa Valley)

    This rich, ripe and bold Shiraz feels more like a meal than a drink. Semiconfected yet bright berry fruit on the nose is countered by flower stalks, white pepper, savory herb and toasty oak. It shows a touch of bottle age, too. The palate is plush but not without freshness, while tannins are big, blocky and drying. This could cellar a few more years but isn't likely to offer the excitement of others at this price point.
