Laird is the epitome of Barossa Shiraz, oozing opulence and power. It's deeply hued with a rich, opulent bouquet of sun-ripened red and black berries, mocha, ground black pepper, warm earth and vanillin oak. The palate is massive, but quietly so, cinched in dusty, spice-filled tannins, with lifted acidity and a good lick of high-end oak. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
