John Duval Wines Shiraz Entity 2006 - Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley (12/3/2010)37€; 14,5% abv. I'm not a great fan of warm climate wines, so take this note with a grain of salt, but this Shiraz seemed to set itself apart from the masses. The scent is not just fruit; instead it has some genuine interest. It smells strongly of mulberries and, despite only 30% new French oak, I do find quite a bit of vanilla also, but crucially it does have a delightful savoury edge to all these sweet aromas. Full bodied and unmistakably Barossa, but once again delightfully savoury, with refreshing levels of acidity and some tannic grip. This is a big, meaty wine, but doesn't fall into a stereotype of a hot climate wine. I think I might actually like this once the oak fades more into the background.
