Hentley Farm The Beast Shiraz 2023

Our Verdict

"Sporting an awesome magenta-splashed crimson hue in the glass, this smells Barossa through and through. Deep, deep blackberry and satsuma fruits, studded with ironstone and hints of fruitcake spice, grilled figs, Old Gold chocolate, turned earth and roasting meats. Weighty and full-bodied, there's plenty of latent power here, balanced despite the heady 15.2% alc with fine, sedimentary tannins, leaving no doubt that it will cellar admirably. Drink 2024 - 2038." 95 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday's Wine Companion

"This is pretty full-on but it nails the style. Tar, coffee, blackberry and plum characters roll into cedarwood, woodsmoke, peppercorn and vanilla. There’s a sizeable bloom of fruit and a wide spread of tannin; drinking this is like stepping face-first into a wave. It’s entirely convincing. It shows its oak and its warmth but then, it shows its everything."  94 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
