The 2021 version scored 88 on WineCompanion:

" Bright magenta with vibrant aromas of blueberry, macerated plum and boysenberry fruits cut through with spice, mocha, purple floral notes, earth and plum pudding. It's a spacious medium-bodied red with some nice acid crunch, superfine powdery tannin and a finish that trails off showing oodles of plummy fruit and fine spice.

If anyone else here is a Yangarra fan (I've never had a grenache or shiraz from them I didn't like, Sometimes Always (online wine store) have a few of their bottles in their 'any 6 bottles for $99' selection. Notable the noir red blend (grenache & shiraz) and their preservative free grenache. These are usually around the $25-$35 mark depending where you buy them.
 
Gee it's a good time to be buying traditional Australian red varieties, particularly Shiraz.
With the export market collapsed (and no light visible at the end of that tunnel), there are amazing discounts on some iconic names that usually export most of their output. (Not Henschke or Penfolds yet).
Great wines aged 10 years plus are being heavily discounted as producers realize they can't stockpile them forever.
I have not seen this in the 30 years I have been collecting.
Mind you, none of the big names are losing money. Just outrageous profits are being cut.
I have read that no Australian wine actually costs more than $40 to get from ground to consumer.
Not sure if that's accurate? (Maybe not Seppelt 100yr port)

The problem I have is 3 completely full big wine cabinets and I can't stop myself buying.
I'm now leaving the aircon on all day, so the excess wine doesn't cook! 😳
