Angove McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022

McLaren Vale Shiraz from an excellent vintage, it includes parcels of old vines. This is deep maroon in colour, and cracking value. There are notes of chocolate, warm earth, licorice, animal hides, cherries, blackberries and even a touch of black jellybean on the nose. There is a fine line of acidity here and a supple texture, with satiny tannins and impressive length. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years. One of those wines which it is impossible not to enjoy. Not sure I’d go with the team’s recommended match of beef curry – a good steak or gourmet sausages seem more the ticket.
