2024 Tellurian Tranter Shiraz

Juicy and peppery with a sturdy structure behind it.

Pitch black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Pepper laced aromas of dark plum and liquorice form on the nose trailed by some earthy graphite, subtle spicy vanillin cedar and dried herb notes. Rich and juicy with medium to full body weight, dark plum and liquorice fruits meld into a blackpepper laced back drop of earthy graphite and spicy dried herbs. Polished yet underlyingly sturdy tannin structure with a generously fruited, pepper infused finish of good length.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews…….
Sourced off a single block planted in 2003. The pepper, the spice, the lift, the florals, the black fruits – so intense and pure – not to mention the energy. Each vintage, the superlatives get a working over with this wine. Suffice to say, the '24 is a real banger! Balance is the key – no angles, no awkward bits, just an utter liveliness of shiraz resplendent in black cherry, dark plum, cassis, elevated in aniseed, black pepper, sage, spearmint and delivered in earthy nuances with woody notes and hints of charcuterie. Detailed and just so mightily moreish. Drink by 2037.
