Bella's Garden Barossa Valley Shiraz

Boldness and finesse! This wine has layers. Cola, Rainer cherries, blueberries, wet earth, sweet spices, orange peel, kirsch.... The description can go on. The tannins are resolved and the acidity is still pleasant. The nose is perfumed, savory, and is a real joy to linger over while savoring the long finish. ( I dig the sandalwood notes). Bella’s Garden is certainly the most consistent of the Garden series wines and 2012 is a terrific vintage. This wine was waiting in my cellar, but I won’t wait too long to drink the next bottle as the wine is at its peak.

Very ripe style, sweet dried black fruits (figs, plums), thyme, mint, black tea, tannins are really soft for a 5-6 year old Shiraz. Not enough tannin there to counter the sweetness and alcohol. Definitely good, but lacks refinement.

Been on a Syrah/Shiraz kick. Gotta hand it to those Aussies. This is a great wine. Just enough fruit up front with a solid spicy kick on the back end.

Right up there with all the other Bella's Garden. They are one of the most consistent wines out there. It is a BUY at anything under $65

A touch disjointed with the alcohol sticking out like a sore thumb. Definitely flavorful. #twohands #barossavalley #shiraz #syrah #bigboy #australia #ctbucklinwine

16/20 (90/100)

Пряно, свежо, но на удивление уже без больших обещаний, практически готово и не на заоблачном уровне

Grest Shiraz. Best two Hands Bella's in mammy years

Not as over the top as the Mollydooker. Here the grapes are extracted but not to the point where they have become raisins. I just wish they handled the fruit with a little more deftness

Derek's bottle.
