Ox Hardy 1891 Ancestor Vines Shiraz 2014

Excellent purity of vibrant fruit to be found in this 2014 McLaren Vale Shiraz, released at 9 years of age. Musky plums, licorice and new leather aromas with plenty of sweet oak in close support. A dry and firm palate follows with perfumed old vine flavours, that linger beautifully over a strong finish accented by gravelly tannins. Superbly approachable but with plenty in the tank.
