Flametree Shiraz 2023

A potent mix of blood plums, steeped boysenberries and squashed mulberries. Black olives sit side by side with rosemary and thyme. A hint of clove studs and granitic, sandy potting soil. There is almost a pillow of blue fruit too, its assertive tannins provide the framework to hang the lush fruit upon. A sappy wine with stuffing that manages to still have an ease to the drinkability and leisure like quality of the overall product. It’s tip top! Drink now or will cellar well for another 2-4 years. This would look the bees knees beside a butchers trimmed lamb cutlet.
