No Rag received yet but looks like online order has been updated (today 1st Oct) to include this years release. Seems Basket Press has increased $2, same with RR and maybe others.
Can anyone comment on the 22 Barossa vintage?
Will probably get a mix as usual although won't go heavy on BP like I did on the 21 unless I'm convinced otherwise!

In speaking to a few winemakers from the Barossa, they all spoke in glowing terms of 2022, less so of 2023.

Definitely. 2021 and 2022 are strong vintages. 2023 suffered with cool wet weather, buy with caution.

I'm finding 22 Barossa Shiraz quite good. Only a smidgeon below 21 but that was a once in a decade (or more) vintage IMO. Can't fault the fruit ripeness and quality. Agree 23 not as good.
