SKULLS SHIRAZ 2019 McLaren Vale, South Australia |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
FULLGLASS WINES |
This delicious, ready-to-drink, crowd-pleaser is a mystery to me. It comes with a trick skull label with a boat suspended in a tree. The producer Fullglass Wines is actually an Australian-based marketing company has done a good job. It has a very deep intense purple colour along with an attractive, intense, gently juicy, ripe, raspberry-cassis-cherry nose. Dry medium bodied and quite well structured, the slightly spicy, fairly intense, ripe, plum-raspberry-cassis fruit flavours are followed up be a lingering, gently cedary, bright, harmonious finish. It’s surprisingly tasty and quite ready-to-drink with 14.9% alcohol, 3 g/L residual sugar and lot number L0073 on the lower part of the glass bottle. NEW in Vintages. |

TASTING NOTE: This is delightfully ripe and perfumed on the nose showing blackberry, sweet cherry, violet and thyme aromas with a hint of pepper spice. The succulent palate offers silky texture and bright fruit flavours, finishing smooth and delectable. At its best: now to 2027. Score - 91 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, May 2021) |
