Description
"The wine lives up to its brand with an ink-like hue and syrupy intensity. A classic and traditional Barossa style with masses of plum, dark berry, liquorice and chocolate/mocha flavours. High alcohol, ripe fruit and American oak give the wine an almost luscious sweetness that could cloy after a few glasses. A real 'crowd pleaser' offering value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Oct 2017
"Ink by name as it is inky in colour (intense purple), this is one is for the hedonists. It is unabashedly ripe and rich in style, with sweet blackberry and plum notes, seasoned by hints of coffee and spice. The texture is velvet soft. It’s a wine that is a celebration of Barossa-ripened fruit. Easy to drink and easy on the wallet" Cuisine magazine, Australian Shiraz Tasting, Issue #189, June 2018
"A gorgeous shiraz offering fruit power and opulence; the inviting bouquet shows black/blueberry, dark plum, vanilla, mocha and toasted nut aromas. The palate is fleshy and sumptuous, and exhibits layers of velvety texture and plush mouthfeel, finishing superbly long and captivating. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sept 2017.
The Barossa Ink Shiraz is intense purple red in colour with great density. The bouquet is rich with plum, raspberries and dark cherries, with underlying hints of dark chocolate, coffee bean, and spice. This super rich, full bodied wine has a sensual palate offering plenty of texture, fine velvet tannins and soft, round dark fruit flavours.
Barossa Ink is the product of a challenge set down by the Grant Burge winemaking team to come up with the most vibrant and impactful wines possible. The result is an intense and opulent wine from the heart of the Barossa, with a colour so dark that it’s almost ink. This natural colour comes from premium grapes sourced from the heart of Barossa, which were carefully blended to express the vibrant, flavour packed nature of these parcels and create a wine that showcases the best of its terroir.

Excellent drop (only 1 bottle tasted) but expect even better development of the wine over the next 2/3 years. Can't wait.

Delicious, full of flavours and complexity. Warm feeling with a smooth texture. Priced a little bit more that usually spend but tastes like a more expensive wine. I will be buying more and reserving for special occasions or visitors.

Mark - 23/10/2018
Not as good as expected for a Grant Burge.
Janice - 20/08/2018
A little disappointed compared to other GB I've tried but think probably just a matter of cellaring 5 or so years. Tastes very young and fruity but not acidic or rough
Rhys - 11/07/2018
Nice wine but a little too sweet for our taste in a Shiraz
John - 07/07/2018
