Amicus A Shiraz 2021

A year and a half maturing in French oak hogsheads sees this wine, from the superb 2021 vintage, off to a great start. The colour is a deep maroon. The nose is intense and gives us evidence for the power within. This is generous and approachable, with notes of chocolate, cocoa powder, blackberries, bacon fat, coffee beans and cassis. There are early hints of complexity and good oak integration throughout. Impressive length, this is a wine of medium weight and fine balance. Expected to drink impressively over the next ten to twelve years.
