Greenock Creek Block 3 Shiraz 2020

Deep opaque ruby in colour and a big step up from the Block 4 Shiraz with greater weight, complexity and fruit focus. Ripe blackberry, mulberry, chocolate truffle and vanilla bean oak provide a strong start with a hedonistic richness and appeal. The palate is then dense with mouthfilling dark fruits, in the tarry liquorice spectrum; a rich mid palate in support before continuing on to a long, broad finish with a nice little touch of balanced fresh acidity to finish. A firmish edge to tannins shows this wine has plenty in the tank to enjoy over the medium term.
