Little Giant Single Vineyard Old Vines 85 Years Shiraz 2021

This is from Crane’s Vineyard in the Eden Valley. It spent a year and a half maturing in large French oak. An opaque maroon, the immediate aromas are a plush and alluring chocolate. There is good intensity throughout, with impressive oak integration – a wine of generosity and class. The chocolate is supported by notes of blackberries, warm earth, licorice and mocha. There is a sweet core of cassis, good acidity and fine tannins. A wine of excellent length, fine balance and most of all, promise. This has ten to fifteen years in it.
