Gomersal Reserve Shiraz 2021

This is seriously good value. The wine spends ten days fermenting on skins before twenty-two months in a combination of new and older American oak hogsheads. The colour here is a near back maroon. The nose exhibits some delightful chocolate and blackberry notes. There is some serious oak evident here, appealingly toasty, with notes of black olives, tar, plums, mocha and cloves. This is dense, powerful and with abundant though very fine and silky tannins. A good line of acidity runs the length. Very long, this is a wine of real power and concentration and will provide pleasure for at least the next ten to fifteen years.
