Château Tanunda The Everest Shiraz 2021

The initial vintage of this wine from the 2005 vintage picked up ‘World’s Best Shiraz’, and every release since then must also have been a contender. Coming from such a great vintage as 2021, this was always going to be something very special. Just 650 bottles made, the wine spent a year and a half maturing in French oak, including a contribution from new oak. Dark maroon/magenta in colour, this is supple, gorgeously plush and ever-so-generous. We have notes of smoked meats, cassis, blackberries, licorice, chocolate, cocoa powder, soy, leather and coffee beans. Finely balanced with silky tannins, it offers such amazing length and the intensity never waivers for a moment. A thirty year proposition.
