The best wines show the region's natural affinity for the variety and deliver power and depth without sacrificing vibrancy or precision. These are the wines that remind us why we love Barossa shiraz. Down in the troughs, the view's not so good. A surprising number of wines are further ahead of the expected development curve than they should be, and the finger can be pointed at the opposing evils of winemaker neglect or over-indulgence. The good wines endored the vintage, the poor wines are memorials to missed opportunity. Judged by Monday Panel A & C and Tuesday Panel A, B & C. 18
