Parker Estate Terra Rossa Shiraz 2024

Coonawarra Shiraz from the McLeod Rocky Block and the Kidman Old Block vineyards, the wine spent a year maturing in 300-litre hogsheads, one quarter of them new. 500 dozen made. An inky dark maroon hue, the nose reveals notes of chocolate, leather, mocha, aniseed, dried herbs and coffee grinds. There is good balance, focus and concentration and a sweet core of blackcurrants and chocolate. This is a wine of fine balance, good vibrant acidity and excellent length, and there is further improvement to be had here. This is a cracker and will drink very well over the next decade.
