Shiraz Shiraz

I had high hopes for this purple-hued monster, and it did not disappoint delivering a nose bursting aroma with crushed blackberry, black cherry, bay leaf and wood smoke. Saturated with black fruit on the full-bodied palate, there is a vein of red fruit, including strawberry and raspberry, that adds compelling complexity. This is still a baby, but deft handling of the oak combined with high levels of acidity and tannin suggest it will develop seductively over the next decade. 2024-2034–MP
