Briar Ridge Dairy Hill Shiraz 2024

Briar Ridge Dairy Hill Shiraz 2024
$55, 14% alcohol, screwcap, Hunter Valley.

Deep fruit flavour, savoury complexity, a wide spread of commanding tannin and the length to match. This is a quality wine from every angle. It tastes of plum, vanilla, earth, sweet roasted spices and redcurrant, and while the fruit has an attractive ripeness/sweetness it also plays clear homage to both smokiness and savouriness in general. Plus, it has that velvety feel that always makes you want to dive in for more. 94 points.
