MMAD Shiraz 2023

Like the Grenache, this had been open for a few hours before we tried it - a bit of oxygen does wonders for brand new wines like this. The 2023 MMAD Shiraz is medium bodied with dark fruit tones (black cherry, spiced cherry) and a nutty, savoury element. It shows bramble and garrigue, with grainy black pepper spice throughout. Tannins are pleasantly chewy. I'm a fan. - Ches Cook, FWC.
