Haselgrove Bella Vigna Reserve Parcel Shiraz 2022
$50, 14.5%, screwcap, McLaren Vale.

This shiraz is like a vinyl record. It has a groove and a grain, and it all rolls around smoothly. It tastes of caramel and licorice, roasted plums and peppercorns, with bitumen and dark, mint- chocolate running through the aftertaste. From start to finish it’s 100% satisfying. You’d reckon that this will improve with a little more time in the bottle too. 93+ points.
