IronCloud Rock of Solitude Shiraz 2020

An impressive Shiraz from a single vineyard in the Ferguson Valley in Western Australia, which faces Geographe Bay. Maturation was in oak, 30% of it French. An attractive garnet hue. The nose gives us a delightful mix of dark berries and some red fruits, with an appealing smoky note. Some gentle milk chocolate, blackberries, plums and coffee beans plus a flick of oak, well integrated. Good intensity on the palate with a seamless texture and lingering finish, plus silky tannins. The intensity never waivers and I like this a lot. Enjoy over the next eight years.
