Byron & Harold Rose & Thorns Great Southern Shiraz 2021

Another very fine example from a variety that seems completely at home in the Great Southern. And another very fine example of cracking value from the team. An opaque and yet vibrant purple, the nose offers smoky meat notes, florals, cloves and chocolate. Also some blackcurrants and leather. There is early complexity here with hints of a flavour reminiscent of Ribena and black tea. Thanks to fine tannins and excellent length, this will drink superbly for the next six to ten years. Love it.
