2021 Max & Me Boongarrie Vineyard Shiraz

An indifferent Eden Valley Shiraz with some earthy barnyard like characters running through it and a rather abrupt finish.

Pitch black heart with a dark purple black tinged hue. Nosing offers up some plummy liquorice aromas along with hints of barnyard, vanillin cedar and spicy earth. Rich, opulent and polished with plum and liquorice fruits fading into a spicy vanillin cedar and subtle earthy barnyard back drop. Bright acidity and polished yet sturdy tannins with a silky textured yet rather abrupt finish.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews…..
A beautifully pure expression of the Boongarrie vineyard from the cracking 2021 Eden Valley vintage. It sits bright magenta-splashed crimson in the glass with lifted aromas of macerated satsuma plum, boysenberry and crunchy blueberry fruits cut with hints of spice, citrus blossom, licorice, chocolate, berry flan, olive tapenade and earth. It sports excellent fruit purity and detail, a mineral-laden acid cadence and a powdery tannin architecture with a real sense of harmony and verve. In my eyes, it's the best release yet from this vineyard. Drink by 2033.
