Brokenwood Graveyard Shiraz 2024
AU$500, 14% alcohol, screwcap, Hunter Valley.

The cellarability of this wine is about as bankable as you can get. It’s a beautiful medium-bodied wine with a fine latticework of tannin spreading through the finish, and seriously good length. It tastes of plums and musk, cream and peppercorns, mostly, though earth, mint and subtle leather notes are part of its inherent character. This wine has plenty of power but, simultaneously, it’s also a celebration of medium-weight wine. In fact it’s a celebration of beauty, and an exponent of it.
