2021 Mountadam Vineyards Patriarch High Eden Shiraz

Review Summary: Rich, densely concentrated and powerful with a slightly chewy feel and long peppery finish.

The Detailed review: Matured for 18 months in new and seasoned French oak barriques and puncheons. Dense pitch black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Potent black cherry and liquorice aromas are interwoven with smoked dried meat, spicy vanillin cedar and peppered earth notes. Rich, densely concentrated and powerful, the full bodied palate is swamped with lush black cherry and liquorice fruits which are framed by a sturdy tannin structure. Scorched earth, black olive, dried meat, vanillin cedar and blackpepper characters lurk in the background. Slightly chewy in it’s feel, it concludes long, deeply fruited and peppery.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 15.5%
