94 Point Rated - Tyson Stelzer Wine Companion

"From 25–40yo vines in the northern Barossa. Matured 18 months in 20–30% new American oak barrels. Blackwell assumes a unique place in the St Hallett hierarchy, embodying the density and impact of the northern Barossa in waves of blackberry and satsuma plum fruit and licorice. Fantastic hue of full, vibrant purple. Dark chocolate oak lurks in the background. Quintessential modern Barossa shiraz in all its glory."

"Black to purple hue, coating the glass. The nose is a melange of baked plums, cinnamon and paprika. Monster concentration, a sense of viscosity across the palate from this. Purple fruits abound with licorice, mocha and sweet spice layers. With all that concentration there are more than equally concentrated tannins to corral the enthusiasm. It drives long and deeply into the finish with just a hint of heat lingering."

"Strangely, the last vintage of Blackwell reviewed here was the 2015. I’m blaming Campbell. Vegemite and toasty spiced oak over ripe blackberry, liquorice and a minty floral perfume. Rich, full-bodied, ripe sweet dark fruit backed with roast coffee oak, almost sticky grainy tannin, plush, slightly salty, with a firm dry finish of fair length and some ripe raspberry bobbing up in the aftertaste. Rock solid."
