Quite good fruit, still, but the gentle acidity and tannin is showing some slight astringency to my palate. Drink up.

Still good. Nice juicy fruit and gentle tannins with the balance moving towards soft acidity. Not the best recent vintage but it is drinking very well.

Blackberry, dark plum, black pepper, cassis. Lush and fruit on the palate. Medium - acid but feels sufficient to keep it fresh and fan out the finish, Sweet fruit dominates on the palate. Lacking a little intensity in the mid-palate and finish. Some savoury and herbaceous notes come through on the palate which gives it just that little extra to keep in interesting. Good but not worth especially seeking out.

Good, solid S Australian Shiraz. Good fruit and balance. It doesn’t reach the heights of the 2012 for me, though.

'Hedonist' might be pushing it but this is certainly ripe, juicy and very well-managed. All the hallmarks of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Good, clean fun. Paired beautifully with a salty/sticky Chinese pork belly dish.
