G 96
Deep crimson. Attractive blackberry, chinotto, melted chocolate aromas with hint of mint. Generously concentrated with deep-set blackberry, liquorice flavours, fine dense chalky tannins and well-balanced savoury oak nuances. Finishes grainy/ chewy and long. Very good impact and torque. Should cellar for decades. Drink 2027–2045 Craneford Fire Station Truro 1859 Shiraz 2022 G 96 From the excellent 2022 vintage, the fruit was pressed into American oak hogsheads, 40% of them new. Maturation was for an average of two years and only the top barrels were selected for the final blend. The wine is under Diam. Opaque maroon with a purple rim, the nose gives us notes of chocolate, aniseed, mocha, cassis, graphite, mulberries and even a hint of plums and blueberries. Beautifully handled oak here, giving the wine a touch of toast. It offers intensity, balance, satiny tannins and serious length. Dense but dancing, the wine has great length and focus while remaining generous and plush. Enjoy this for the next 15 years. A cracker. Drink now–2040 Eisenstone SV901 Mattcheoss Vineyard Greenock Shiraz 2022 G 96 Deep crimson. Intense black cherry, blackberry aromas with cedar, roasted chestnut hint varnishy notes. Beautifully concentrated, inky deep and buoyant with pure dark berry fruits, fine chocolaty tannins and well-balanced vanilla and roasted chestnut notes. Claret-like finish with attractive mineral length. Keep for a while. Drink 2027–2042
