Bleasdale Reserve Shiraz 2018

Shiraz was first planted in the Langhorne Creek region in 1858, by Bleasdale, and they have been making superb wines from it ever since. This wine spent 18 months in a mix of French and American hogsheads. The wine is a bright maroon colour and then the aromas come to the fore. Plush, ripe, rich, a cracking regional Shiraz. Chocolate, black fruits, mulberries, leather and cocoa powder. The texture is an absolute highlight. It is gorgeously velvety through to the softest of tannins. Seamless in structure, the length is surprisingly long. Lots to like in this wine. Brilliant value.
