Murray Street Artisan Shiraz 2022

From the Greenock Estate (92%) and Gomersal (8%) vineyards. There is also 8% of Mataro included in the blend. The wine spends eleven months in oak, 18% of it new. 2,000 dozen. This is an inky dark purple in colour. The nose exhibits notes of chocolate, black forest cake, dark berries, bay leaves, blueberries and aniseed, with a gentle oak influence still evident. There is juicy acidity, appealing focus and direction, a lingering finish and very fine tannins, with everything in place. Lots to like here in this wine which really does promise even better things in the years to come. Eight to twelve years with ease, more if you need them. Excellent buying.
