Giaconda Estate Shiraz (2021)
750mL / Beechworth, VIC / Australia
Tasting Notes:
Dark red to coal black in colour.
Notes of damp forest floor combine with a zephyr of savoury meats and campfire smoke, with raspberry and star anise notes lifted by the whole-bunch component.
Round and rich with a satisfying fruit-laden palate of wild berries coming to the fore.
The tannins are powder-fine and convey red fruits with a twist of spiced vanilla oak, long on the palate. Evocative and immensely complex, this finishes with a strong mineral and graphite impact.
A wine that is destined to have a long future.
