Taltarni Dynamic Heathcote Shiraz 2020

Classic Heathcote here with plush and velvety tannins, soft like the nose of a horse. There’s kirsch, cherry cola and blackberry; all the fruit is in check. There’s a little nod to a more Rhône-esque style with hints of charcoal and graphite showing but not they don’t dominate the fruit, a testament, perhaps, to the notion that there’s no place like home. Full, drying tannins leave a lasting taste of cocoa powder. You really can’t go wrong.
