Curtis Family Vineyards Limited Series Shiraz 2022
AU$100, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.
This tastes of resin, cream, saturated plums, mint and peppercorns. It’s McLaren Vale shiraz, laid on thick, dense and velvety at once. It’s bold with flavour and with texture, and then runs grainy tannin through the finish. If you like big, bold, fruit flavours and old school oak: this one is for you.
