2020 Angove The Medhyk Shiraz

Rich, plush and seductive yet refined.

Produced from 55 year old vines with maturation taking place in a combination of old and new French oak for a period of 17 months. Dense inky black in colour with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Ripe blackberry and liquorice aromas leap out of the glass followed by some dark plum, toasty vanillin cedar and peppered earth notes. Rich and plush yet not overly heavy across the palate, seductive blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits are intermeshed with vanillin cedar, subtle earth and pepper elements. Velvet smooth tannins with a long, opulent yet refined finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews…..
From three estate sites, Willunga on black clay, the loam of the Warboys Vineyard and 1940s vines in Blewitt Springs; 17 months in new and seasoned French oak. This is lusciously rich, supple and textured, with cascading blackberry, loganberry and dark plum fruits, salted licorice, bitter chocolate, preserved black cherry and toasty oak notes. It’s keenly crafted, with balance and enough tension, though it’s certainly sitting at the fuller end of the spectrum. Drink by 2034.
