Jack Estate Mythology Shiraz 2013
$55, 15% alcohol, screwcap, Coonawarra.
Twelve years old and this wine still presents as full-bodied and plush. There’s a lot to like about this wine. Warm blackcurrant, plum, leather and choc-mint flavours blend gradually into orange oil and cedar. It finishes dry and well-shaped, and feels satisfying throughout. 92 points.
