Greenock Creek Block 3 Shiraz 2020

Deep opaque ruby in colour and a big step up from the Block 4 Shiraz with greater weight, complexity and fruit focus. Ripe blackberry, mulberry, chocolate truffle and vanilla bean oak provide a strong start with a hedonistic richness and appeal. The palate is then dense with mouth filling dark fruits, in the tarry liquorice spectrum; a rich mid palate in support before continuing on to a long, broad finish with a nice little touch of balanced fresh acidity to finish. A firmish edge to tannins shows this wine has plenty in the tank to enjoy over the medium term. 94 Points – Angus Hughson, Wine Pilot

Deep crimson. Fragrant blackberry, raspberry aromas with herb garden, liquorice notes. Well concentrated and vigorous style with abundant ripe black and red fruits, persistent fine graphite/ al dente tannins and some marzipan/ liquorice notes. Finishes chocolaty firm with herb notes. Heat and dust. 92 Points – Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal
