Every year I smell lavender in this glass, and I promptly forget, until the following year. So today, as I smell the 2020 Magill Estate Shiraz, I smell lavender, and it lifts the aromatic profile—Earl Grey tea, Chinese five spice, black fruit and graphite through the finish. This is a supremely elegant wine, a single-vineyard wine (the only one in the 2022 Collection). Open fermenters, basket pressed and barrel fermented. It's all done in situ at Magill. I love this wine; it has powdery tannins, pliable fruit and curvy shape. Gorgeous. Irresistible.

Wonderfully expressive, with toothsome and fleshy ripe plum, huckleberry and wild blackberry flavors. Delivers details of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, white pepper and dried rosemary that linger on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2033. 25 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Adelaide Select to Add
