Twinwoods Shiraz 2017

From a site in the Cowaramup sub-region of Margaret River, a vineyard which focuses on Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, the team have given the wine significant time in the cellar prior to release – all to the benefit of the wine lover. Very dark maroon in colour, the wine has good intensity. The nose gives us notes of bay leaves, chocolate, espresso, aniseed, coffee grinds and hints of sage. Supple in texture, the wine is of medium length with fine if firm tannins. Good concentration but it is seamless and even gives a nod to a degree of elegance. Drink now and for the next five to seven years.
