2019 Nicks Secret MS Pyrenees Shiraz

From an iconic Pyrenees producer, whom we’ve previously featured under the Nicks Secret guise, comes this second label Shiraz which at almost 50% off delivers exceptional value for money.

Rich and juicy yet refined and structured, this Pyrenees Shiraz delivers serious bang for your buck.

Matured predominately in seasoned French oak barrels for a period of 14 months. Midnight black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced black cherry, liquorice and blackberry scents fill the nostrils with hints of choc mint, vanillin cedar and peppered earth adding further dimension. Medium to full in body, the palate is layered with rich blackberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits which are framed by sturdy tannins. Gently muscular in it’s feel, echoing through the long, refined finish are notions of spicy vanillin cedar, earth and peppered meats. With plenty of life left in it, this will continue to drink well over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews…..
Very deep, bright red/purple colour. Spicy, peppery, fresh earth and red fruit aromas of some complexity, especially considering its youth. The wine is medium to full-bodied and soft-textured, with no shortage of tannin, but the texture is supple and drying, the fine-grained powdery tannins augmenting the savoury flavours. There is abundant fruit within but the overall style is savoury, food friendly and very stylish. Very long aftertaste. Great value.
