Bold, inky and peppery, this is a classic Shiraz with good concentration, smooth but palpable tannins and lifting acidity. Tasting of blackberries, crème de cassis and layers of spice, with a hint of minerals on the back palate, this swirl of flavor complexity verges on hedonism. In contrast, the palate is focused with fine, firm tannins and lifted, well-placed acidity. This is a classy, gastronomic bottling of Shiraz. Drink now–2024.
