Stunning shiraz. Rich in fruit, texture and savoury detail. Dark chocolate and black cherry, plum and sweet spice, smoky oak and graphite. Twiggy spice and associated herb characters are here but they keep their head down for the most part. Is there some reduction hereStunning shiraz. Rich in fruit, texture and savoury detail. Dark chocolate and black cherry, plum and sweet spice, smoky oak and graphite. Twiggy spice and associated herb characters are here but they keep their head down for the most part. Is there some reduction here? Probably a little, thankfully. The length here is seriously good, as is the package as a whole.

Medium-deep colour with a tint of purple and a sousbois, forest-floor bouquet, possibly whole-bunch influenced, with assorted spices including black pepper, and the palate is full bodied and rich, generous, ample and ripe with generosity and texture that appeals. Long finish and a resonant, fleshy mouth-feel. A compelling mix of cool grown spices and superripe abundance of flavour and body.
