this doesn't appear to be the strongest recent vintage of this wine, but it remains a benchmark for mclaren vale shiraz. hints of vanilla and tobacco leaf add nuance to a mix of berries ranging from red raspberry to black currant, but there's also a hint of bruised fruit and a green toughness to the tannins. give it some time in the cellar. drink 2020–2030.
