WINE DESCRIPTION
John Duval's Entity Shiraz is a powerful and expressive wine that captures the essence of Australia's Barossa Valley, a region synonymous with world-class Shiraz. A former winemaker for the iconic Penfolds Grange, John Duval brings his extensive experience to his own label, creating a Shiraz that is both intense and elegant. The Entity is made from old vines that yield concentrated fruit, which Duval artfully balances with judicious use of French oak aging, allowing the varietal's spicy and ripe fruit characteristics to shine through, while adding layers of complexity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Entity Shiraz presents a deep, dark purple in the glass, an indication of its richness and vigor.The nose is a confluence of lush blackberry and plum, interwoven with notes of licorice, black pepper, and smoky oak. On the palate, this Shiraz unfolds with a robust core of dark fruit, complemented by hints of mocha and savory herbs. It is full-bodied yet retains a sense of balance with its fine tannins and well-integrated oak, leading to a long, refined finish. This wine is a bold statement, showcasing the pedigree of Barossa Shiraz, with the potential to cellar and develop further complexity over time.
