Frankland Estate Shiraz 2023

Impressive dark, dense purple hues. Starts quietly with a lilting scent of Aussie bush notes, black fruit, smoked meats, vanilla and spice. Gains a stronger voice when tasted with a more obvious generosity of fruit and presence lifted aromatically by a warm, inviting spiciness. Sturdy, firm tannins roll out across the palate and with them a smooth-running texture, the perfect vehicle for a wealth of ripe black and red fruits, earth, sweet spiced oak and liquorice.
