Paringa Shiraz 2023

An excellent value Shiraz from the Murray/Darling River region, maturation is for around a year and a half in French oak. The emphasis here is very much on over delivering flavour for buck. Dark blood red in colour, there are earthy, ripe notes here with notes of aniseed, black fruits, dried herbs, dark chocolate, truffles and cloves. Big and bold, it is full of flavour from start to finish. Quite a supple texture, although there is good concentration throughout, the wine is of decent length and finishes with firm and quite abundant tannins. It really is terrific value.
