Tapanappa Whalebone Vineyard Cabernet Shiraz 2019
$60, 14% alcohol, cork, Wrattonbully.

This is a firm, minty red wine with tobacco and graphite notes running through the power of black, curranty fruit flavour. There are plum notes here too, plush, cushioning and confident. This wine has cellarworthiness written all over it. It’s balanced, it has a boldness, it’s threaded with tobacco/herb notes and it just, all around, seems to know what it’s doing. 95 points.
