Ironcloud Rock of Solitude Shiraz 2021

A really impressive Shiraz from the Ferguson Valley in Western Australia. A single vineyard wine with a maroon and purple hue. Black fruits, licorice, cloves, blackcurrants, bay leaves and coffee grinds. A whiff of quality oak, which is well on the way to full integration. The tannins are an appealing furry/silky mix with really good length here. An absolutely cracking West Aussie Shiraz with at least ten years ahead of it.
