"This has aromas of ripe black fruit, Sichuan peppers, hot chocolate, tar and dried earth. Spicy and plush with a medium to full body and soft tannins. Leather at the end. Drink now" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com
Bright fresh and lively Shiraz. Ripe fruit overtones with dark cherries with spiced plum, black pepper and spice with subtle integration of oak. A middle-weighted palate with serious intent; bright florals, juicy fruit and a lifted integration of earthy spice note and black pepper. Soft mouth coating tannin, a creamy texture and subtle oak provides a poised, elegant finish. The small additions of Touriga National, Malbec with a dash of Viognier gives complexity and aromatic lift followed with subtle texture. Good acidity and fine tannins combine to create a soft finishing, well weighted cool climate style.
A very good year for shiraz. Cooler conditions supported the lower yielding vines in 2019 to give balance and power. Fruit was harvested in clean and ideal condition.
Food Pairing: Ideal food wine which will complement many dishes including pork, lamb and duck. Drink now for the next 5 to 7 years.
