HUNTINGTON ESTATE GRAND RESERVE SHIRAZ CABERNET 2021 ($100 / Mudgee, NSW)
92 Points
This judiciously blended wine from the cool climate areas of Mudgee shows intensity and boldness of aromas and flavours.
Black fruit driven palate, wafts of chocolate, menthol, mixed herbs and cigar smoke twirl around a solid framework of grippy, well-rounded tannins.
It's a wine of heft and substance which will reward some cellaring.
