2019 Shaw + Smith Shiraz Adelaide Hills

"A super-ripe dark-plum and blackberry nose with pepper and spice aromas, together with some smoky and graphite-like elements. Plenty of complexity. So fleshy and deep with a smooth tannin texture and dark plums and blackberries sitting fresh into the finish. Rich, sweet red-fruit tones to close." - James Suckling Review Date: December 2021

"The Shiraz from this well-known Adelaide Hills estate screams cool climate via its evocative autumnal vibe on the nose. It's sappy and earthy with brambly red berries, plums, savory herbs and peppery spice. The plate is less vibrant, with slightly pinched acidity and taut, austere tannins, but overall this medium-weight Shiraz should knit together nicely with another few years in bottle and until around 2030." - Christina Pickard Review Date: April 2022
