Pirathon Silver Shiraz 2017, Barossa Valley, South Australia

Very engaging bouquet loaded with familiar varietal signatures of Shiraz - dark spices of pepper cushioned against ripe dark red berries. Some red licorice, sweet meat and clove add depth and complexity. On the palate - dry, weighty, firm and youthful, warm and generous, a core of black and red fruit flavours then moderate yet obvious oak with a toasty and gently char note. Firm tannins, plenty of acidity, balanced and well made. This wine can be enjoyed from today, but perhaps better if decanted and served with food.
