Shiraz
Ned Goodwin - Halliday Wine Companion
2019
Wine Orbit This is stylish and beautifully composed,
showing Black Doris plum, sweet raspberry, vanilla and cake spice
aromas on the nose, followed by a splendidly weighted palate that’s
rounded and fleshy. It’s supple and harmonious, elegantly structured
by polished tannins, finishing long and silky. At its best: now to
2028 5 Stars .
Outstanding quality showing varietal purity and exemplifying
regional type. Selected from a particular block on the Butler
Crest estate where the soil transfers a distinctive spicy character
to the wine, this "Syrah" style wine has been turning heads for a
number of years. "Just
enough blue fruit references buffer gently astringent tannins, a
clench of reduction and classy iodine, black olive and smoked meat
notes, skirting along peppery acidity."
