MARGARETE'S SHIRAZ 2018 Langhorne Creek, South Australia |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
JOHN'S BLEND |
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Intense, bright, spicy, juicy, intense, ripe, ultra ripe, plummy-black-cherry nose with lots of cedary notes. Dry, full bodied, well structured, rather dense, intense, spicy, ripe, plummy-black cherry purée flavours with lingering, tangy, cedary notes on the vibrant, savoury, somewhat minty finish. This hefty Shiraz should be a perfect match with bbq ribs - it was fermented and matured in new French (75%) and American (25%) oak, spending 29 months in barrel. Has 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. The recommended 2015 (***) was released on May 30, 2020 at $39.95. |

TASTING NOTE: 100% Shiraz. Hedonistic but poised, with alluring smoky bacon and floral airs around sweet bramble, creamy berries and dark plums, joined by complex raw steak and white pepper characters. Score - 95 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2021) |
