TASTING NOTE: Easy shiraz to like. Well flavoured, a bit of spunk, fresh fruit and just generally more-ish. Black cherries, plums, peppercorns and vanilla. A slip of creaminess but really it's the fruit holding the floor. One glass and you're definitely up for a second. Lick of anise doesn't hurt either. Good stuff. Drink: 2017-2023. Score - 91 (Campbell Mattinson, winefront.com.au, Aug. 2017) |
