2024 Collector Marked Tree Red Shiraz

A juicy mid weighted Shiraz with a savoury, pepper laced finish of ample length.

The Marked Tree Red comprises hand-worked parcels of shiraz from vineyards in and around Murrumbateman. The mix of granite and shale soils produce fruit which is both perfumed and elegantly structured as well as savoury, textured and rich.
Pitch black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Up front liquorice, black cherry and clove scents display good aromatic lift trailed by some smoky vanillin cedar and peppered meat notes. On the mid weighted palate juicy black cherry and liquorice fruits combine with infusions of clove, spicy vanillin cedar, dried meats and peppered earth characters. Fine grained tannins with a savoury pepper laced finish of ample length.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews…..
What a beautiful shiraz. Everything just so; it’s perfectly poised and immediately appealing, although it will age gracefully if you can wait. It’ll be hard though, because of the gorgeous aromatics of exotic spices and florals, with a little meaty reduction alongside the ripe, fleshy fruit doused in a touch of pepper. Silky tannins sashay across the medium-bodied palate and, with the lithe acidity, the finish is long and lingering. Drink by 2036.
