Paralian Springs Hill Vineyard Shiraz 2024

From ’75 and ’98 plantings on the Springs Hill vineyard. The ’24 Paralian suite, for me, is the finest to date. All killer, as they say … The quiet power in this is something to behold – a wine of gravitas and grace. It comes in a little darker of fruit this year, though not heavy with it. Dried olive, black cherry, violet, blueberry, ground coffee, a certain sultry floral and spicy feel, with an undercurrent of nori and iodine. This is a marvellous expression, with finely tooled tannins and exceptional length. Simply brilliant. 97 Points – Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion

So pure and refined with aromas of blackberry bush, crushed blueberries and rose petals as well as game meat, black-olive brine and blackcurrants. The luscious, medium-bodied palate has a textural mouthfeel, showing bramble, tobacco, baking spices and iodine. Nicely constructed. High drinkability now and aging potential. Drink or hold. Screw cap. 96 Points – JamesSuckling.com
