Der Directors Cut ist das Flagschiff Limitierte Reserve der Heartland Wines an der Limestone Coast.
In der Nase der tiefgründige Duft von Schokolade, Cassis, Tabak und reifen Brombeeren. Am Gaumen dann ein enormes Feuerwerk - konzentrierte, dichte Aromenfülle, Cassis und Anflüge von Mokka, samtige, feste Tanninstruktur und Textur. Der Wein steht tiefschwarz mit 14,5% im Glas, hat eine unglaubliche Dichte und Intensität, das Preis/Genussverhältnis ist sensationell.

The 2006 Kalimna Bin 28 Shiraz was made primarily from Barossa Valley fruit. It was aged for 12 months in seasoned American oak hogsheads. Aromas of soy, pepper, lavender, blueberry, and licorice lead to a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine with layers of spicy black fruit, enough structure to evolve for 4-6 years, and a lengthy finish.
Drink this nicely priced wine from 2013 to 2021. 19,80 EUR incl. 19 % UST exkl. 26,40 EUR pro Liter
Australienexperte James Halliday 96 Punkte Pale but bright straw-green; the bouquest has some fragrant blossom notes that merge into the multilayered palate with its display of white peach, nectarine and fig, then distinctly creamy cashew notes before what can only be described as seductive acidity on the finish. Decanter - Australian Chardonnay 17,76/20 Punkte
Classy, perfumed nose of fruit salad, lemon and smoke. Serious winemaking – stylish. Seductive, peachy opulence pinned by pineapple acidity and a long finish.
92 Punkte Wine Spectator
A distinctly spicy white, with nutmeg and clove overtones to the pear and grapefruit flavours, weaving in walnut and filbert notes as the finish lingers impressively. Drink now through 2020 24,80 EUR incl. 19 % UST exkl. 33,07 EUR pro Liter
Sydney Morning Herald - 96 Punkte Shaw & Smith regularly makes some of the smartest shiraz in the land. Very deep red-purple colour; the bouquet is spicy and ripe with ironstone and dark-fruit aromas. In the mouth it’s rich and concentrated, powerful and commanding, with brilliant ripeness and impressive length. Now to 2034
Lester Jesberg: >Outstanding< This is a beautifully made spicy dark cherry style which is perfectly poised and utterly delicious. One of Australia’s finest reds. Excellent value.
92 Punkte Wine Spectaor Polished and focused, with peppery, savory aromas and flavours around a little core of blackberry, dark plum and wet earth character, all of it mingling together harmoniously on the finish. This has presence and depth. Drink now through 2018 24,80 EUR incl. 19 % UST exkl. 33,07 EUR pro Liter
