Haselgrove Il Padrone Shiraz 2021
$55, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.

This is svelte. This is composed. This is the kind of shiraz that makes you feel as though you’re in safe, confidents hands. It tastes of ripe plum and saltbush, smoked cedarwood and peppercorns, and from start to finish it feels solid and satisfying. The finish of this wine is combed nicely with fine-grained tannin, which then leads to a well-sustained finish. This wine is good from very angle. 93+ points.
