Colour invites the eye, closely followed by the tastebuds, and this ’21 Shiraz is eye-catching in dense, deep crimson-purples. Aussie bush aromas are strong and nicely integrated with black berries, spiced plums, anise and the merest suggestion of menthol-mint. Fragrant and lifted to start, by the time you get to taste this smart Margs’ Shiraz the tastebuds are fully engaged. Medium bodied, it moves fast and free with racy tannins driving. The tannin structure might be considered the silent star of the wine, bringing energy, while flavours roll with it aided by toasty, vanillin oak and chocolate spiciness.
