2021 Bleasdale Generations Shiraz

Dense inky black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced dark plum and liquorice aromas are complimented by blueberry, vanillin cedar, earth and subtle spearmint notes. Rich, silky and seamless the medium to full bodied palate features juicy dark plum, liquorice and blackberry fruits over a blueberry, vanillin cedar, earth and mint back drop. Velvet smooth tannins finishing fresh and lush.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews…..
Destemmed to open fermenters, 15% whole berries, 10 days on skins, matured for 12 months in French puncheons (20% new). A highly fragrant and expressive bouquet leads the palate with its spice, black pepper, licorice and blackberry flavours. The tannin and oak inputs are all they should be, as are the texture, line and length. Drink by 2041.
