Expressive, Round, Smooth. An authentic, pure expression of Shiraz, with very little oak to allow for the full brilliance of the fruit to shine through.
Immediately spicy and complex, this has a rich blackberry and dark-plum nose, together with dark-chocolate and tarry, earthy elements. The palate has a very rich and well concentrated with such ripe dark-plum, dark chocolate, blackberry and mulberry flavours on offer. Generous, yet balanced. A lovely South Australian blend of McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and The Peninsulas. Drink 2024 - 2042. 97 Points - Nick Stock, jamessuckling.com
