Paisley Boombox Shiraz 2022

"There is a dollop of Grenache usually included in this Shiraz by the team, and the use of oak seems ever-so-marginally more apparent in this wine than others in the range. For a fine vintage like 2022, this really works well. The colour is like a bruised plum/dark cherry hue. The nose is full of deep black fruit notes, chocolate, vanilla, blackcurrants, soy, smoked meats, coffee beans, cloves and a hint of axle grease. Rich, ripe and bold, this is big (in flavour terms) and generous with good intensity throughout and very good length supported by firm tannins. A seamless style, it will drink beautifully for at least a decade." Rating: 93 Points. Ken Gargett.  Wine Pilot.

"Plenty of value here! Pure and fruit rich with gobs of ripe blackberry, Doris plum and boysenberry fruits. Hints of baking spices, brandied fruits, fig, licorice, dark chocolate, blossom and earth. Fruit depth and intensity to burn with fine, sandy tannin grip and a crème de cassis-like flow on the finish."  Rating: 92 points.  Dave Brookes.   Halliday Wine Companion

"For $25 this is a good get. A little generosity without being heavy-handed is the order of the day. Slow cooked food, fire pit chats or movie night with a wedge of dark chocolate in your mouth are all at home with this Paisley Wines Boombox Shiraz .... Cedar, sandalwood, vanilla and dark chocolate make the first impression. A dab of fruit sweetness clings on but the dense plums and dark berry fruit weave their way about. Fruit bun spices and those baking spices we've come to know from the Barossa raise their hand. A little tight initially, it cooled its heels with time in the glass. I like it and it represents good value."  QwineReviews.com
