Gaelic Cemetery McAskill Shiraz 2020

A classic Clare Shiraz here which offers exceptional value for money offering a wide array of complex fruits, some of which are hiding a little under the surface so it is worth digging. There is powerful blackberry, blueberry and savoury spice with an earthy minerality all beautifully matched with high quality oak. It’s then dry and compact; a robust, youthful wine that is all muscle right now, tightly wound for some serious drinking over the next decade or two. It’s powerful, but also understated, although the tannins are deadly serious and show this is a wine built to please over the long term. Give it at least ten years to see this really shine.
