SAPLING YARD SHIRAZ 2023

94 Points

This mid-weight cool-climate Shiraz expresses dark plums, Moroccan-style spices, mixed dried herbs and white pepper from the initial pour.

The fine acid and oak balance allows the vibrant varietal fruit component to evolve and swirl on breathing.

The sweet, spicy and tart mix of flavours lingers on the mid-palate.

Slightly chilled, it made a surprising and cheeky match to my slice of Christmas pudding.
