2015 Mount Langi Ghiran Langi Shiraz, Grampians

The supremely fragrant bouquet has a platform of black fruits so tightly laced with charcuterie, licorice, spice and black pepper you can't break free until you reach the mouthwatering, medium-bodied palate of exceptional length and balance, the texture silk with a velvet rim.

Ripe but medium-weight, impeccably well balanced but with its character fully intact. Nothing is left to chance: it's expressive of assorted spices, fruits, leathers and woods, but it's simultaneously neat, fresh and finely stitched. Elegant, even. It doesn't just take a series of right steps; it doesn't take any wrong or even questionable ones. The length and class of the finish isn't just unsurprising then; it feels, as you swallow, inevitable. It will continue to impress for decades.
