Di Fabio Bush Vine Reserve Shiraz 2016

Always good to see wines which have the benefit of a good stint in the cellar. This one also enjoyed two years maturing in small French oak casks before bottling. From McLaren Vale, this is a deep maroon/red hue, the nose exhibits some age, as is to be expected, and yet there is some attractive oak with hints of vanilla and a touch of coconut. There are rich chocolate notes with dry herbs, cherries, coffee grinds and black fruits. Supple and seamless, this is of medium length and with fine tannins. It will still drink well for the next four to six years.
