2018 Dalwhinnie The Eagle Shiraz, Pyrenees

The flagship red is a picture of elegance, with underlying strength and precision. Vibrant, dense plum red. Mediterranean spices, dates, blackberries and warm, toasty oak. Lush texture, with supple tannins make it imminently drinkable, but don't be tempted – the best is yet to come.

A deep purple in the glass with flashes of crimson. Distinct aromas of baking spices, sandalwood and pepper unfold from the glass alongside dark berries and bramble. The palate exhibits super fine tannins which unfold layer after layer with dark fruits, cedar, red plum, forest floor, truffle and an exquisitely elegant, long finish. A wine for the ages that will reward long cellaring of five to twenty years.
