2023 Maxwell Ellen Street Shiraz

Exceptionally rich, weighty and power packed with a long, opulent finish.

Impenetrable inky black colour with a very deep dark red black hue. Pronounced blackberry, liquorice and more subtle dark chocolate scents intermix with spicy vanillin cedar, earthy leather and pepper notes. Exceptionally rich, intense and sumptuous, the weighty palate is laden with lavish blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits. Lurking across the back half are earth, dark chocolate, spicy vanillin oak and subtle mocha accents. Power packed it has velvety yet slightly chewy tannins and a long, opulent finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews……
Richly fruited and enticing, the wine shows black and blueberry, vanillin oak, toasted spice, and floral characters on the nose, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate offering plump mouthfeel and fleshy texture. Superbly structured and expressed with waves of delicious flavours. At its best: now to 2038.
