Mitolo Jester McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

The taster steps straight into the middle of a warm, spice-fuelled, black fruited, archetypal McLaren Vale Shiraz. It’s big and cuddly, warm and so very easy to enjoy. Ripe and sweet fruited with chocolatey oak and spice that goes on and on, it could have so easily got out of control, but is nicely tapered with the arrival of red fruits that join in on the palate. Tannin marshals help draw some boundaries. That dry, astringent finish is clean and well judged.
