Heiner Lobenberg om:
Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz 2021

96+
/100

Den nordvendte enkeltvinmark "Balhannah" står på kompleks ler-, jern-, kvartsit- og skiferjord. Forførende krydret næse! Frisk vendt jord, Assam-te, brændt ler, jern og trøfler med krydret bresaola, tørrede blomster og urter. Delikat røgede aromaer, Schwarzwälder Schinken - alt er præget af friskhed og spænding. Smagene fortsætter i ganen. Fint strukturerede tanniner og harmoniserende syre smelter sammen med æteriske urter, friske blåbær, blommer og peberkrydderier. Man forbinder ikke automatisk så meget friskhed og spænding med Australien, men heroppe i næsten 400 meters højde har vi allerede et køligt mikroklima. Dette fascinerende samspil af smagsnuancer kunne også komme fra Côte-Rotie. Spændende sager!

Suckling om: Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz

A scintillating nose of mace, clove, blue-fruit persuasions, lilac, pepper-dried salumi, fennel seed and kelp, akin to nori of the sort found at Tokyo's arsenal of exceptional sushi counters. On the slightly richer side of mid-weighted. Yet, the slippery skein of tannin is so immaculately placed that there is neither heat nor an ounce of sloppy, sweet fruit. Everything is compressed into a polished bone of tension and savory refinement. The acidity is saline and lathered with tapenade. More of a syrah from an external perspective. An irrefutably brilliant one. I wish I had more to cellar, given the wine's noble stature. A ringer for refined Cornas, if not an oxymoron. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. Screw cap. 97/100

Winepilot om: Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz

A sultry aroma of blackberry, Bing cherries and kombu seaweed. Crushed juniper, clove and allspice meet sandalwood, brown mushroom and pine cones. It’s full of forestry and undergrowth with specks of kalamata olive and hawthorn. Sweetness of spice shines through unpinning the black berried fruit and herbal nuances. Extremely compact and weighty. There is a lot of wine here for the dollar and as per usual it shows off its pedigree with class and sophistication. Tannins are suede-like and acidity drives the flavours to the finish line which are way off in the distance. Drink now and will cellar for 5 years. A great wine for slow cooked beef tendon or oxtail.
