Blickinstal Black on Black Shiraz 2022 (Year of the Horse) Limited Edition is a powerful, Barossa‑style Shiraz built for drama – think deep colour, plush fruit and generous oak in a bold, cellar‑worthy package. This limited Blickinstal Black on Black Shiraz release typically leans into richness and intensity, sitting firmly in the “special occasion” camp rather than easy weeknight drinking.

Expect a dense core of blackberry, black cherry and dark plum, laced with mocha, dark chocolate, vanilla and sweet spice, plus a little black pepper and licorice in the background for complexity. The palate should feel full‑bodied and mouth‑coating, with firm, ripe tannins and warming Barossa alcohol, finishing long with lingering dark fruit and toasty oak.

This 2022 Year of the Horse Shiraz is crying out for richly flavoured dishes – slow‑cooked beef ribs, charcoal‑grilled ribeye, lamb shanks or kangaroo fillet work brilliantly. It will also handle aged cheddar or gouda and a dark‑chocolate dessert with ease, and is a good candidate for decanting now or further cellaring to let the structure relax and flavours knit together.
