2019 Oakridge LVS Shiraz Magnum 1.5L, Yarra Valley

A superb purple/black hue, the same colour as the plums and berries at the core of this shiraz. But it's most definitely savoury; spicy and peppery with very nicely controlled smoky reduction woven across the bouquet and palate. Full bodied, with determined tannins and a wonderful sense of clarity throughout.

Vibrant purple with a purple red hue. Luscious fruit aromatics leap from the glass blackberry, dark cherry and plums, with hints of black olive and pepper and the slightest fleck of oak framing it all. The palate is pure fruited, all blackcurrant, plum and red currants with a spice element adding complexity. Bright yet balanced acidity and fine, long tannins are supportive of the fruit. Layered and textured with both poise and presence.
