Hare’s Chase Marananga Cabernet Shiraz 2019

The great Aussie blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, from the Barossa Valley, enhanced as it hails from an excellent vintage. Deep garnet/red, there is a lovely expressive nose here, with some vanillin oak notes and so much more. Blackberries, cassis, chocolate, blueberries, coffee beans, mocha and with time, more and more licorice emerged. A fine line of fresh acidity, sleek tannins and impressive length. There are hints of vegemite on the finish. Enjoy it over the next eight to ten years.
