TASTING NOTES FOR Levrier Argos Shiraz Eden Valley South Australia 2014

🍷 Appearance
Totally opaque black-red with a deep dark crimson hue. Dense and powerful, showing both intensity and maturity.

👃 Aromas
Rich and expressive, with pronounced blackberry, dark plum and aniseed layered over vanillin oak, fennel and spice. Subtle smoky and savoury notes add further complexity.

👅 Palate
Full-bodied and plush, delivering concentrated flavours of ripe blackberry, dark chocolate and liquorice with layers of spice and oak. There’s a luxurious richness balanced by structure and depth.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Velvety smooth tannins provide a silky mouthfeel while still offering firm structure. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, chocolate, spice and oak integration.

🍇 Overall Style
A premium Eden Valley Shiraz—powerful, polished and age-worthy. Combines Barossa richness with a slightly cooler-climate savoury edge, delivering both opulence and refinement.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with slow-cooked beef, lamb shanks, BBQ ribs or rich casseroles. Also excellent with aged cheeses or hearty winter dishes.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously impressive, cellar-worthy Shiraz—rich, smooth and packed with flavour. A standout for premium mixed dozens and ideal for customers wanting a bold, mature Australian red with depth and pedigree.
