Is Shiraz a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Med purple in the glass. This Shiraz apparently spent 11 months in old oak along and also went through 30% carbonic maceration. Red fruits in the nose along with green notes. Felt better in the palate. Red fruits again, strawberry, raspberry along with some black fruits. A bit spicy and savory. Tannins are more prominent in this Shiraz. Med plus body and noticeable acidity. Red fruits and oak linger on a decent finish. This perhaps need some more time to come together. 14% ABV.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has deep red with a vibrant, ruby hue. It has crust beneath bright cranberry and raspberry fruit aromas. Hints of licorice, chocolate, dark spice and berry liqueur emerge and build the enticing character.It has bright plum and raspberry fruit flavours supported by a sustained fruit sweetness and fine, ripe drying tannins. Beautifully balanced, fluid and effortless.
