Tasting Notes
Taylors Jaraman Shiraz 2023 is a distinguished blend from the renowned Clare Valley (65%) and McLaren Vale (35%), celebrated as the ‘Shiraz of the Year’ at the prestigious London Wine Competition. This award-winning wine exemplifies the best of Australian Shiraz with its rich complexity and elegant structure.
On the nose, it offers lifted aromas of black plum and blackberry, intertwined with subtle hints of coffee bean and spice. These enticing scents lead into a luscious palate layered with dark berry fruits, ripe cherries, and plum, complemented by attractive oak characters that evoke roasted coffee beans and warm spice notes.
The wine’s well-integrated tannins provide a firm structure and persistent length, making it both plush and dense while maintaining excellent balance. Alistair Cooper praises its “attractive nose with deep plum, leather, and a big lick of oak,” highlighting the wine’s plush texture and classic Shiraz typicality, with oak leading into lovely mocha notes.
Crafted for longevity, the 2023 vintage reflects the unique terroir of Clare Valley and McLaren Vale, regions known for producing premium Shiraz with intense fruit concentration and refined tannins. While built for the long haul, this wine’s youthful dark berried fruit and subtle spice make it enjoyable now.
