Paracombe Shiraz 2018

A meeting of blackberries and wild raspberries, held by chocolatey oak and coffee syrup spice. There is a lacework of clove, sage leaf and soft licorice too, some old fashioned pencil box. The palate delivers all that’s promised with thirst quenching acidity that brightens and enlivens, this is an excellent vintage that is only just finding its straps, another 3-6 years will allow it to develop its more grunge, earthy and red fruited side. For now this is an absolute steal at the price, don’t question it just buy multiple cases before the prices go up. What a country we live in when wine, this good, is so affordable. Serve it with a hearty lamb stew or cottage pie.
