Question

To approach this question, I will compare each option against typical Shiraz (Syrah) profile cues and the specific descriptor given for a 2020 Bertie Shiraz.
Option 1: 'Browning at the edge, slight translucent, strong mulberry and jammy characters, lots of fine, but powerful tannin, beautiful balance'.
This description emphasizes browning edges and translucency, which are more characteristic of aged or overrated wines, not a fresh 2020 Shiraz. The mention of jammy characters and a strong, yet not clearly integrated tannin profile could fit older, more decayed bottles, but it doesn’t align with a young 2020 vintage’s typical vibrant color and structure.
Option 2: 'Bright crimson, deep red in the centre with dark plums and licorice, good soft tannins on the pallet, lots of oak, still potential to mature'.
This description highlights a bright crimson color with a deep core, dark fruit notes (plums) and licorice, plus soft tannins and noticeable oak. All of these elements are highly consistent with a young, full-bodied Shiraz from 2020 that has present oak integration and aging potential, matching the provided answer as well.
Option 3: 'Slight garnet edge with deep centre, dark fruits and earthy tone with some herbal and capsicum flavours and good strong pronounced tannin structure, capable of more time in bottle'.
While this could describe a Shiraz, the combination of an earthy tone with herbal and capsicum notes plus a garnet edge suggests a more mature or differently styled bottle. It’s plausible for some Shirazs, but the color and flavor mix here leans toward a less youthful or more complex bottle rather than a fresh 2020 Shiraz.
Option 4: 'Slight browning at the edge, deep dark centre, some dark fruit and lift of slight tobacco and lather, soft tannins, well balanced, drink now, perhaps a few more years'.
This option mentions browning and tobacco lift, which are markers of some maturity, and suggests drinking now or with a few years more. For a 2020 Shiraz, this description seems less aligned with a predominantly youthful, vibrant profile expected from a new vintage, though it could indicate a developing bottle.
In summary, Option 2 aligns most closely with a young, vibrant 2020 Shiraz profile: bright color, concentrated dark fruit, licorice notes, soft tannins, and evident oak support with aging potential. The other options describe color changes, flavor notes, or structural cues that are less characteristic of a fresh 2020 Bertie Shiraz and more typical of either aged or differently styled wines, leading to potential mismatches with the expected profile.
