Tyrrell’s Brokenback Shiraz 2010


Last year Tyrrell’s explained that they would not release their four acres Shiraz but would declassify it into the below wine.  The question that crosses my mind is, will this change the feel of the high quality wines that are normally released from this label? Yes it does as the polished oak that I normally get from a young version of the Brokenback is already integrated in the 2010 release.

In 2010, the weather conditions have produced a medium to light bodied funky wine that expresses itself like a 1st grader.  You remember when you were young and you were able to convey yourself in any form in art. Finger painting? Yes, I would love to. Well, what about paper mache? Count me in! This wine sits beautifully as an outlet for the creative mind as it happily pushes the boundaries between fragrance and spiciness in a polished yet dirty profile.
