Pour this when you want a red with a bit of swagger. It's big, dark and warming, with a smoky vanilla edge that comes from finishing the wine in old Scotch whisky barrels. Blackberry, plum and dark chocolate up front, a little spice on the way out, and that 14.5% gives it real body. Perfect for a slow nyama choma night or anytime you want a glass that actually fills the room.
The nose pulls you in first: ripe blackberry and plum, then vanilla, toasted oak and a curl of woodsmoke from those whisky barrels. On the palate it's full and generous. Sweet dark fruit, dark chocolate, a hint of fruitcake and a peppery spice that keeps it interesting. It's properly dry, not jammy, with enough acidity to stay fresh and a smooth, oaky finish that lingers. The barrel work is there but the fruit still shines through.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Jacob's Creek is one of Australia's most recognised wineries, rooted in South Australia's Barossa Valley, classic Shiraz country. The Double Barrel range is their clever twist: take a properly made Shiraz, age it in wine barrels like normal, then finish it in aged Scotch whisky barrels to layer in extra vanilla, smoke and spice. It's a nod to the old friendship between winemakers and whisky makers, and it gives this red a character you won't find in your usual bottle.
