Perfectly ripe black plum and forest berry compote, with hints of pepper, spice, and a touch of sweet-cured meat on the nose. The palate is coiled and purposeful on entry and feels like it wants to explode. With a satin flow, a bright core of berry fruits and hints of spicy oak, this a very moreish wine.
Explosive mulberry fruit is married to a medium body and full vibrant tannins in this compact and energetic Clare Valley Shiraz. Slight sappiness at the long, very fresh finish.
This is plump and fruity without losing the (comparatively) cool climate edge of green peppercorn, toasty spices and lifted acidity. It's full bodied with a touch of chocolate oak showing but with the fruit intensity to balance it out. Should age nicely for the next decade at least.—C.P.
