Wendouree Shiraz B 2024

Central vineyard bush vines (block 24b) planted in 1893.

Blackberry, liquorice, dark mint chocolate, cedar and black tea. It’s medium to full-bodied, but fresh, plenty of dark chocolate and liquorice, supple but tightly-knit tannin, almost a Ribena-like intensity to fruit, ripe raspberry, a rosehip and dried herb mouth-perfume, with a big rosy finish of outstanding length. As Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade would say “hoo-ah!” 97pts, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
