Curtis Octavian Shiraz 2021

A McLaren Vale Shiraz of opulence and power delivered with a degree of poise that totally belies its richness and concentration of fruit. It’s small batch production with the fruit matured in French oak hogsheads for 36 months. Dark plum, licorice and roasted coffee and mocha open the highly perfumed aroma combination. The palate is a massively concentrated maze of flavours and nuances with the overriding influence of supersaturated fruit and plenty of oak. It’ll see a few of us off the planet.
