Tasting notes
15 months in oak. Dark purplish crimson right out to the rim. Something very mineral about the nose of this. Spicy and warm, scented, very particular fruit notes. Thick and pretty heavy but rewarding. Barossa heat in the glass! Finishes just a little dry. Warm and rich on the end. Fermented cough pastilles. (JR)

15 months in half French oak, and half American (half of each being new). TA 6.7 g/l, pH 3.60. Plenty of meaty oak and firmly tannic. Savoury and dark, lots of compact fruit density. A very serious version of Barossa Shiraz. (RH)
Very deep purple-black in color, the 2010 Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz is aged using a 50/50 French and American oak regime. It has a core of crushed blackberries and blueberries fused with aromatic notes of cloves, licorice, spices, chocolate box and a whiff of vanilla. Full-bodied and rich, it is crisp, concentrated and structured with medium to firm, velvety tannins. It finishes spicy and long with a little warmth in the finish. Drink it now to 2022+.
