Hollick The Bard Shiraz 2022

Labelled as Limestone Coast, the fruit is actually a blend from both Wrattonbully and Coonawarra. Dark maroon with a russet rim, the nose reveals notes of smoked meats, black fruits, chocolate, blackcurrants, leather, soy and coffee grinds. Quite a sleek and seductive palate, with focus, length and balance. Stonkingly good value, it should drink beautifully for a decade. It would be a huge hit at your next gourmet BBQ but almost seems too good for that.
