Paracombe Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2018

Another absolute cracking wine from the Adelaide Hills, again with considerable maturation time in the cellar already under its belt. This is utterly ridiculous value. The fruit is a combination of the family’s vineyards and trusted growers. Around 2,000 dozen made. Purple maroon, this exhibits a freshness it has no right to offer. We have notes of spices, chocolate, blackberries, plums, animal skins, mulberries and bergamot. There is some good complexity already evident here and a sweet core of chocolate on the palate. Fine, if ever-so-slightly firm tannins, this is a wine with serious length. It should drink beautifully for at least the next ten to twelve years. Love it. And did I mention the value?
