2024 Blackjack Block 6 Shiraz

Tasting Note:

Bright and intense crimson red. Lifted white pepper notes combine with small red fruits, both raspberry and cherry, along with notes of toasty French oak. The mid palate a supremely elegant combination of concentration and complexity unveiling multiple layers of red berries and spice. The beautiful, sophisticated tannins a fine vehicle to carry the palate to an extended conclusion.

Delicious with Classic Osso Bucco.

Suggested Cellaring:
4-10 years

Shiraz in the doldrums with drinkers? Not with a Shiraz like this.  This little beauty brings all of its Central Victorian deliciousness to the glass – a free flowing, easy going, Aussie style built upon a solid fruit foundation with little obvious artefact. And, yes, there is balance, which is very much a Block 6 strong point.  Ripe plum, black fruits meet chocolate, spice and concentrated aniseed-blackstrap liquorice, and it’s a warm-hearted, elegance that results. The palate is built around a solid core of fine tannins, carrying flavours long. Definitely hard to stop at just one glass.  93 pts
