Black Label Hamish Shiraz 2023

Description

The 2023 Hamish Shiraz pours a deep, inky purple — bold and brooding in the glass. On the nose, it’s rich and layered: ripe blue fruits, juicy plum, and blackcurrant lead the way, with hints of olive oil and a lift of cardamom spice. There’s a lovely floral touch of rose petal in the background, all wrapped up in subtle, toasty charred oak. On the palate it’s full-bodied with a burst of bright acidity up front. The mid-palate carries that savoury edge together with a lick of salt brine, before tapering into a long, tight finish. Tannins are soft and supple, giving the wine structure without weight, and the whole experience lingers nicely on the tongue. A refined, modern Shiraz with depth, energy, and just the right touch of elegance, drink now or pop this baby in your cellar for 15+ years. Steve suggests pairing with a homemade beef and Guinness pie, with a real puff pastry lid !
