LVDO 'Versions 1' Carbenet Shiraz 2023

"Cool and elegant aromas lift from the glass in a mixture of restrained fruit and gentle savoury and sweet spice. Blueberry, black plum, camphor, five spice, dehydrated tomato. A swirl of the glass unlocks more savouriness in the faintest whiffs of charred bell pepper, tobacco and dark chocolate. At its core, however, this is about restrained vibrancy. The palate has an equally cool and even toned feel with elegant, lifted fruit. Blueberry, dark cherry and plum glide through the palate with some nutmeg in support before a lithe vein of granular and svelte tannins enter the picture, adding just enough mocha-laced bitterness to offset the fruit. There?s flow, elegance, vibrancy, and softness on display here. A lovely wine." 93 Points. Tom Kline, Wine Pilot.
