Sorby Adams The Parish Hall St Hugh’s Shiraz 2021

This is quite different from the St Aidan’s and St Boniface in this range in that it gets 24 months in French oak as against American. Adams got his fruit for this from the eastern edge of Barossa, Angaston and Craneford. This is so bright and vibrant from the first take on the nose through to the completely seamless and concentrated, powerpacked palate. In fact, so smooth and balanced, that it can be deceptive how much is lurking in here. Lovely plum and dark cherry with a little mulberry delivered over a long finish.
