Limited Release Jacob's Creek 2018 Double Barrel Shiraz VSOP
The Double Barrel range is crafted from superior quality grapes which are first matured in traditional wine barrels. Then, using a unique Double Barrel technique, they are finished in aged whisk(e)y barrels to build additional layers of complexity.
However, this Double Barrel Shiraz is a limited release and more premium wine having taken some of the best Barossa fruit and ageing the wine in VSOP Cognac barrels enhance the spiced fruit characters, smooths the wine ever further and deepens the flavour.
Tasting Notes:
Deep crimson with a bright purple hue. Complex cinnamon, roasted nuts and fruit cake aromas with dense, blackberry fruit and cedar overtones. Ripe plum with attractive dark cherry complemented by added spiced fruit character from cognac barrels.
The listed price is $65 per bottle.
Discounted price of $39 per bottle using the code "DBVSOP"

I've been lucky enough to try this, the barrel flavour really comes through on this shiraz, I believe it was originally intended for the overseas market, and it is a cork seal.
