Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz 2013

McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaThis pours a dense purple hue, with little to no sign of age. It’s a full-throttle style of shiraz, and an interesting contrast to the Penfolds Bin 28, with jammy blackberry and black raspberry, menthol, and gobs of oak from aging in a combination of 58 percent French and 42 percent American barrels for 18 months. Full-bodied and quite concentrated, this has a plush texture with just enough acidity to keep everything in balance. Drinking well now, this will continue to hold for the next 4-5 years, but the oak will increasingly overshadow the fruit with time.Tasted: 01 November 2019Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:
