Giaconda Nantua Les Deux Shiraz 2021
Medium ruby in colour with touches of garnet in the centre, the nose composed of an attractive amalgam of blackcurrant, earthen spices and olive tapenade. On the palate the fruit is juicy and sweet and is wrapped around a medium bodied frame with dusty, grainy tannins and a well supported line of acidity. The wine has a real lightness of touch and is an excellent example of Beechworth Shiraz. At this price point it punches well above its weight. Great drinking. Cameron, FWC.
A rather appealing bouquet of baked beets, briary notes and roasted meat pan juices coupled with red to black cherries. It's sumptuous and rounded on the palate with a rolling combination of red fruits, spicy oak infusions underpinned by a tremendous layer of fine, savoury tannins. It certainly needs decanting to help open-up the bouquet, whilst also allowing the fruit to build up and work with the structural elements of the wine. Hours later, there is a more darker brooding fruit element accompanied by the subtle rise of a “sous bois” note. An absolute beauty that will be at its best in a few years. Cellaring: 3-10 years.
