Bec Hardy Family Crest Shiraz 2022

South Aussie Shiraz which spent eight months maturing in older French oak hogsheads. Under Diam, as are all in this collection. A deep purple, magenta colour here, this is powerfully aromatic in a concentrated and slightly earthy style of Shiraz. Big and bold with black fruit notes, chocolate, bay leaves and beef stock. As we move to the palate, the flavours of sweet mocha, coffee beans and dark chocolate move to the fore. There is good focus and intensity and the wine offers firm tannins with good length. It is one for enjoying now and for the next eight years. Really good value, especially if you enjoy the bigger, bolder and more burly style of Shiraz.
