Slightly darker, meatier, and more savory than the Portrait Shiraz, PL's 2017 The Barossan Shiraz is a full-bodied, moderately rich wine. Hints of roasted meat, black olive and plummy fruit come together on the nose and palate, ending in a wave of soft tannins.

Lehmann's 2016 The Barossan Shiraz shows more complexity than the Portrait bottling, hinting at pepper, licorice and mocha as well as boasting ripe cherries. It's medium to full-bodied, with supple tannins and a creamy mouthfeel, but the flavors fade a bit rapidly on the finish.

Dense, with sink-your-teeth-into-them tannins and fleshy notes of spiced plum and wild blackberry. Tobacco, espresso and nutmeg details add aromatic interest, but the focus and purity of the fruit flavors is most powerful on the long finish.
