Eisenstone Greenock Shiraz 2017

The wine is dense, deep red in colour. The flavours are fresh wild berry, mulberries and other dark fruits. French oak integrates with the fruit and lend a savoury spice nuance without dominating. The wine is generous and opulent in while young and this will continue to develop as it ages. As the wine matures the flavours will develop towards fruitcake, licorice, chocolate and mocha.

Has the qualities that I see (and enjoy) as the mark of a special vintage: lighter footfall, more spice and savoury nuances, and a long finish that expands with a peacock’s tail flourish. The special bonus is a final surge of fresh red fruits. 133 dozen made. 14.5% alc, cork 97 points, drink to 2037. James Halliday – Halliday Wine Companion 2021
