(at Decanter's June 2017 issue Australian Value Shiraz Panel Tasting, 16 Feb 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2025
With a crunchy smoky note and a fabulous meaty texture, this is not a classic McLaren Vale Shiraz but it's an intriguing wine, with real poise, balance and length. It is crying out for Italian food, and is well worth trying.
