The 2021 Lily's Garden Shiraz is from McLaren Vale and smells at first like a lot of good-quality oak, with lashings of toasted coconut, nutmeg, crunchy chicken skin, nutmeg and cedar. In the mouth, however, the fruit washes over any notion of oak and splashes every part of the palate with pure purple flavor and color. This is a concentrated and opulent Shiraz, with all the trappings of McLaren Vale. It is refreshing and very "made," perfect. By the book. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under Diam.
