Corryton Burge Percival Norman Shiraz 2020

100% French oak hogsheads and matured for 18 months. Rather compressed and a tight, black-fruited and shiny resinous nose. A stream of oriental spice flows through; cinnamon, black cardamom, and star anise. Thick on the palate, but with lively acid and melt-in-the-mouth, corduroy tannins. Ripe and juicy compressed purple fruits, hibiscus flowers, white florals, dried sage, white pepper and a lining of solid cedar and chocolate nib oak. Nice ripe fruit at its core, just be sure to give this time and space to relax to enjoy fully.
