2023 Bleasdale Generations Shiraz

Rich and fleshy textured with medium body weight and a fresh, refined finish.

Matured for 12 months in 15% new French oak puncheons. Pitch black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Elevated dark plum and liquorice scents intermix with whiffs of ripe blueberry, earth, vanillin cedar and pepper. Rich, fleshy textured dark plum and liquorice fruits carry medium body weight with notions of spicy vanillin cedar, blueberry, earth and pepper extending across the back half. Polished tannins with a fresh, refined finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
For the price, for the quality, hard to beat. A gorgeous dark purple hue. Fruit the same colour – all plums and currants, which come lightly spiced with licorice, mint and some cedary oak. Nothing out of place, the tannins ripe and supple, the acidity cleansing, the palate assured and just medium bodied. Langhorne Creek and shiraz, they are simpatico. Drink by 2035.
