Grant Burge Filsell Shiraz 2024

Once seen as the Burge Shiraz which wasn’t Meshach, the Filsell has more than established a fine reputation for itself over the years and this is a fine vintage of the wine. The colour is a dark purple/bruised plum hue. It is powerful, intense and coiled, focused and muscular. We have notes of coffee beans, black jellybeans, cocoa powder, cold tea, truffles, aniseed, spices and chocolate. Deftly handled oak is present, though very much in a supporting role. A slightly savoury style, there is balance and length with a long finish, with sleek tannins evident. One of the very best in the range, this is excellent value. A twenty-year proposition.
