Mount Pleasant 1965 Vines Rosehill Shiraz 2022

Due to the multi-layered nature of Mount Pleasant's old-vine wines, they need air to reveal their inner beauty. This memorable wine is made from three diverse blocks planted in 1965, which lie within the historic Rosehill Vineyard. It initially presents with a quality, nutty oak overlay and freshly crushed greens. But after a short time, the fruit stretches and unfurls, revealing incredible richness and depth. The dark, plush nature of the fruit is satisfying and intriguing, with clove notes and bunchy green peppercorn spice. The acidity is integrated, the tannins are lithe, and there's a thread of lemon peel freshness on the close. It is a distinctive wine of true character. Drink 2023-2042. 96 Points.
