TASTING NOTES FOR Kings Of Prohibition Shiraz 2023
🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby red with dark crimson hues. Rich and vibrant, showing excellent colour intensity in the glass.
👃 Aromas
Bold and expressive, with blackberry, plum and dark cherry leading the way. Layers of vanilla, spice and subtle smoky oak add warmth and complexity.
👅 Palate
Full-bodied and generous, delivering ripe dark berries, plum and black cherry supported by chocolate and savoury oak. Smooth and well-balanced with plenty of flavour concentration.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Velvety and mouth-filling with soft, integrated tannins. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering dark fruit, spice and a touch of oak-driven richness.
🍇 Overall Style
A bold, fruit-driven Barossa-style Shiraz—rich, smooth and highly approachable. Combines ripe fruit intensity with chocolatey depth and savoury oak influence for easy-drinking appeal.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with barbecue meats, grilled steaks, slow-cooked brisket or hearty dishes. Also excellent with hard cheeses or casual entertaining.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A rich, crowd-pleasing Shiraz—smooth, bold and packed with flavour.
Perfect for mixed dozens and a reliable go-to red that overdelivers for the price.
Cheers
