Little Giant Shiraz 2024
AU$20, 14% alcohol, screwcap, Barossa Valley.
This delivers a good deal of sweet-fruited flavour and does so in soft, smooth fashion. It works nicely, thank you very much. It tastes of sweet plums, roasted spices, peppercorns and malt, and it comes across as both well-polished and substantial.
