Brini Christian Shiraz 2017

As with all of the Brini wines, this is estate grown on their Blewitt Springs vineyard in McLaren Vale. The vines are all between 55 and 75 years in age. The estate does release its wines after considerable periods in the cellar, meaning that those who either enjoy more mature wines or want to experience them, should really take notice. Blood red/maroon in colour, this is a full flavoured McLaren Vale Shiraz. There is good intensity throughout and we have aromatics weaving through animal fur, leather, aniseed, black fruits, beef stock and warm earth. A supple texture, the wine is showing some good maturity. It finishes with fine, sleek tannins and decent persistence. Enjoy this now and over the next two to four years.
