Purple Hands Shiraz 2023

Purple Hands Shiraz 2023
$40, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Barossa Valley.

The flavour is sweet and plump, the texture is soft, and the finish is satisfying. This is not the most complex of releases but it otherwise ticks all the right boxes. Blackberry, redcurrant and plums, a flash of licorice, mint top notes and a well-judged curl of tannin. It’s nicely turned out, and it drinks well as a result. 91 points.
