2020 Gaelic Cemetery McAskill Shiraz

There is purity of plum and blackberry fruit, as well as floral tones on the nose; but what makes it so interesting is the faint earth and liquorice thread with time in the glass. The palate treads the line between hedonistic impact of primary fruit and the understated complexity of tannin and texture.. and it treads it well. The wine keeps building in impact over the journey with a crescendo of ripe plum, vanillin oak, liquorice strap and coffee grinds that lingers. A beautiful release.
