Angullong Crossing Reserve Shiraz 2018

An exceptional example of Orange Shiraz which clearly shows its cool climate origins as well as a Rolls Royce treatment in the winery. Deep ruby in colour and showing a powerful core of dark fruits with black cherry and blackberry topped by touches of florals and spice, classy vanillin oak coming in to add another dimension. The palate is then well balanced and composed with dense fruits providing power and length lifted by olive tapenade and tarry elements adding a savoury touch. Tannins are now supple and well integrated suggesting a wine at its peak over the next five years.
