Bec Hardy McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020

A very fine and ever-reliable McLaren Vale Shiraz, one which reflects the character of the 2020 vintage. Deep garnet in colour, there is some plushness here. Notes of chocolate, blackberries, warm earth, cloves, plums and aniseed. There is some of that ’20 burliness and concentration, which offers a style many love. Good focus here too and a fine line of acidity before a lingering finish with soft tannins. A richly flavoured wine which will continue to offer pleasure for the next five to eight years.
