Pirramimma Trademark Limited Edition Shiraz 2023
$70, 14.8% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.

This is a significant red wine. Everything about it feels substantial. It’s bold with dark, inky, blackberried fruit; it’s coated in oak that tastes of coffee, dark chocolate and cream; it carries a slick of firm, authoritative tannin; and it prosecutes its case in full through the length of its extended finish. It’s old school in the best of ways; by delivering flavour and structure in spades. 95 points.
