Mattinson review of Pyren Earthscape Shiraz 2022.

Pyren Earthscape Shiraz 2022
$50, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Pyrenees.

There’s an inherent complexity to this wine, and an inherent finesse. It’s also a wine where you can’t see ay of the joins; it all just seems to float through your mouth as one. Flavour-wise we see boysenberry, black cherry, woodsy spice notes, mint and a dusting of cocoa, the aftertaste showing a gently peppery note. This wine is elegance in a glass, and is the perfect companion at the dinner table as a result; it will impress, but it won’t dominate. 93 points.
