Tyrrell’s new flagship Shiraz, the DB24 was matured in two sets of new oak barrels for a total of 24 months, yet remarkably isn’t overoaked. Instead, it offers luscious aromas of blackberries and vanilla but also intriguing soy and grilled meat notes. It’s full-bodied and densely packed, like a coiled spring that needs some time to relax. Finishes with firm tannins; anticipated maturity: 2010–2020. ——J.C.(12/15/2006)—— 92
