Riddoch 'The Author' Shiraz 2019, Coonawarra, South Australia

Almost opaque in appearance with magenta, ruby and pinkish hues, faint colour staining of the tears and very bright in appearance. Aromas and flavours of licorice and red berry fruits, some bitter chocolate and fresh black currant, purple flowers and baking spices, Doris plums and some iron red soil suggestions. Firm and dry as the wine touches the palate, flavours of red berries, plums and licorice return first, then the impact of polished, quite silky tannins and backbone of acidity engage the other palate senses. Smoke meats and fruits, leather and a chocolate round out the palate nicely. Well made, dry, youthful and developing slowly. best drinking from 2026 through 2036+.
