John's Blend Margarete's Shiraz 2019 - In Bond
- Australia
- Shiraz
- ABV 14.5
- Zalto Denk'Art Bordeaux Glass
Stuart McCloskey "This requires respect and requires time in the decanter – I suggest at least 4-6-hours. In terms of longevity? At least two decades. For now, we are presented with a glorious and heady tribute to meticulous craftsmanship and a man who understands Shiraz and his terroir. The bouquet is dense and packed to the rafters with ripe blue and black fruits, sweet spice, liquorice, toasty oak, espresso, violet, vanilla, warm graphite, fresh sage and thyme. Nori / oceanic aromatics emerge with more aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, packed with succulence as well as heaps of freshness and vibrancy. The flavours are long, dense, and brooding – the tannins are expansive and shapely. Fascinating and so satisfying to spend a few hours with this. The fruit is tinged with sweetness, but there’s an autumnal quality to the wine (a brambly, herbal savouriness) which adds to the complexity. Clearly, John has shown restraint, as and pushing the exotic fruit to one side, there’s a lingering purity which elevates this wine. Immensely impressive both aromatically and on the palate. Served using Zalto Bordeaux stemware."
