McGuigan Expressions Shiraz 2013
Langhorne Creek, South Australia, AustraliaMade in the Rhone style look for a smoky, savoury, plum, black berry jam, light bacon, gamey/leather nose. The attack is fresh and juicy with big black berry jam, dark plum, savoury, smoky, coffee flavours flecked with vanilla and licorice. Lots of good fruit and concentration but the warm tart finish brings forward some green tannins. Fine for food like steaks. A year in bottle should help this wine settle in. The wine is aged 12 months in French and American oak.Tasted: 26 November 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $18.99 | 750ml | estimated retail - Charton-Hobbs |
