Tyrrell's Johnno's Shiraz 2022

The odd one out in the Tyrrell's reds, as it's planted on sandy soils. It's also matured in a new large French oak cask.

Savoury, gently earthy style, aniseed, boysenberry and blueberry, dusty spicy oak. It offers a good core of fruit, a fine grained sandiness/gravel feel to tannin, a little toasty oak shows its hand as a young wine, but gee there's an excellent volume of fruit here, and a finish of excellent length. It's supple and succulent and will show very well with a few more years under its belt. Johnno's has a loyal following, and no doubt some fanciers may think my scoring a little churlish, but there you have it. 94 +Points, drink 2026-2039, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
