Tasting notes
A rich and powerful wine that is predominantly (89%) sourced from the Barossa Valley and 11% from the Eden Valley to season. Deeply colored, the very fruit-focused nose has ripe blackberries and dark plums with a subtle, cocoa-dust edge. The palate is generously fleshy and satisfying, with rich fruit driving the palate. Blackberry and dark-plum flavors. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Bursting with blueberry and blackberry fruit, Duval's 2019 Entity Shiraz looks to be a winner, cut from the same cloth as the 2018. Vague hints of peppery spice and violet-laced florals add complexity on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is ripe, supple and mouthwatering, with an almost crisp edge to the cocoa-dusted finish.
A vivid and vibrant inviting nose with rose petal, crushed mulberries and subtle stalky smokiness. Rounded with finely tuned tannins that pepper your mouth with rich dark forest fruits on the smoke-tinged salty finish. 17.5/20 points (AC)
