Thomson Estate Double Pass Shiraz 2022

The idea here is to blend two different parcels of Shiraz with the intention of creating a whole greater than the sum of its parts. The first ‘Pass’ is estate fruit harvested at peak ripeness. The second ‘Pass’ is vine dried fruit, providing extra richness. The colour is a crimson/blood red. This is indeed richly flavoured, a bold style, with concentrated cherry flavours, chocolate, notes of leather, florals and mulberries with some floral hints. A supple texture with very good length leads to silky tannins, but what stands out about this wine is that it is chock full of flavour. Enjoy this any time over the next decade.
