Varietally accurate McLaren Vale Shiraz. Peppery, lush fruit and an herbal tone

Tannins settled, dark and juicy.
An easy quaffer.

Got some heavy acidity with green unripeness somewhere. Rest of the wine carries it through. Decant thoroughly.

4hr decant to blow away the acidity (tough vintage) and yum, the chocolate flavours shine.

Smokey, toasty aromas are met with brambleberry, black licorice and cracked pepper. Plenty of zip on the pallet with fresh blackrasberry flavors and a slight piecrust note. Tannins are integrated and balanced, this is in a sweet spot now.

Had it when I was at Hilton Sydney's Glass Brasserie and it changed my perception for Australian wines. Love it!
