Ox Hardy Upper Tintara Vineyard Shiraz 2018

A real crowd pleaser here that will make McLaren Vale fans swoon. Deep crimson in colour, it is a rich and powerful style with decadent fruit pastille and blackberry fruits with a light and attractive dusting of eucalyptus and spice. Dry, mouthfilling, plush, and rich, there is beautiful purity of vibrant black fruits flavours to follow well matched to a toasty oak backbone with a generous, dark chocolatey finish. Ready to go now but will also drink well for some time to come.
