The 2017 Eric Stevens Purbrick Shiraz is savory and earthy and layered with spices. It has the lovely finesse of tannin that so many of the other vintages possess, but it falls into a savory category. On the palate, there's freshly tanned leather, clove bud, peppercorn and, interestingly, something exotic, like saffron, with some eucalypt through the finish. I like the light, fruity finish, which has an upward inflection, indicating a long time to go from today.
