Hentley Farm The Beast Shiraz 2010, Barossa Valley, Australia

As always with the Beast, layers of beautifully balanced fruit and oak fill out the back palate and provide fantastic length. Overall, a hugely rich and intense palate with the underlying soft side for which the Hentley Farm vineyard is known. - 95 Points - Halliday
