Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz 2021

Description

If you love those generous, plush, richly flavoured McLaren Vale reds, oozing chocolate and black fruits, then you will go wild over this wine. Best of all, at this price fill the cellar, stunning value. The wine is fermented by way of individual vineyard batches in small open-top fermenters for between five and fifteen days. Maturation was for 17 months in a mix of 73% seasoned and 27% new French and American oak. A vibrant opaque purple, we have aromas of chocolate, cigar boxes, fruitcake and plums. There are black fruits, aniseed and cloves, that are plush and ever-so-generous. Abundant but cashmere-like tannins, gorgeous flavours and very good length with such a seductive and alluring texture. Drink over the next five to eight years, but good luck keeping your hands off it, after you've tried it once. This is undoubtedly the best buy from the Luxury Collection. Drink: 2023-2031. Score - 95. (Ken Gargett, winepilot.com, July 2023)
