Mount Langi Ghiran Langi Shiraz 2021

Sourced from the sacred Old Block site and matured in French barriques for 16 months of which 50% was new. There is a potency to the black fruit. Blackberries, bilberry and black christmas cherries. So too, is rhubarb and redcurrant dispersed throughout. A medley of clove, caraway and carob spice. The fruit concentration is dense, dark and deeply detailed, backed by the artful tailoring of oak spice. A cascade of fresh acidity uplifts the palate and then floods it with cassia bark, black truffles and cocoa nibs. There is such energy and solid foundations in the framework of this wine. It’s an absolute superstar wine and this vintage is on song. A benchmark for cool climate Shiraz. Drink now and will cellar well for 10 years plus. I’d drink this with a bone-in dry aged rib eye and the most loyal best mate you’ve got. If that’s your dog even better, more wine for you.
