Millbrook Single Vineyard Shiraz 2022

From a single vineyard at Frankland River, the thirty-year-old Powder Bark Vineyard, the wine sees a year in a mix of new and older French oak puncheons. The colour is an opaque maroon while the nose exhibits notes of plums, bay leaves, black fruits, warm earth, cloves, aniseed, coffee grinds and road dust. Really lifts on the palate with the wine finely balanced and the structure is seamless, right through to its sleek tannins. There is impressive length to it, as well. The palate sees the emergence of blackcurrants and plums. Drink over the next six to eight years, over which time one can confidently expect that the score will keep rising.
