Thompson Estate Shiraz 2023

Yet another superb vintage in Margaret River – you’d think they’d get sick of them but I’ll wager they never do – this fine Shiraz has 2.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2.5% Merlot included. A vibrant purple hue, this is sleekly structured, a most alluring style. The nose gives us notes of blackcurrants, chocolate, florals, violets and black cherries. It really is a gorgeous nose! There is good focus here, fine acidity, balance and excellent length with notes of cassis that emerge towards the finish. Delicious now and sure to continue to provide pleasure over the next decade. Cracking value.
