Madeleines Wines Shiraz Willunga Single Vineyard

Fantastic development. Typical McLaren Vale - nose of dark chocolate, blueberry, clove, ginger, blackberry. Heavy acid on the palate - smoothed down over an hour - blackberry, black pepper, dense forest floor, tannins take a while to kick in but are still quite drying. Plenty of heat. Still at a point of enjoying it without food. I imagine a steak would help cool down the acid and heat.
