2022 Forest Hill Vineyard Block 9 Shiraz

Elegant, mid weighted Shiraz with a fresh, meaty feel.

Totally opaque black dark red colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Elevated spicy dark plum and liquorice aromas infused with a mix of blackpepper, earth, vanillin cedar and smoked meats rise through the nostrils. The elegant, mid weighted palate has a fresh meaty like feel with juicy red to dark plum and red liquorice fruits interwoven with smoked meats, earth, spicy vanillin cedar and black pepper. Slightly muscular tannins impart some subtle grip onto the pepper laced finish.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.
Alc. 13.8%

Other Reviews…..
A wine that never disappoints. Based on old, dry-grown vines that are able to rise above any threats in the growing season. The complexity of the wine runs through the bouquet and palate from start to finish. The bouquet has spice and black licorice at its heart, wrapped in blackberry and plum fruit. It will outlive those who cellar it for decades. Drink by 2042.
