Now–2028 Tim Smith Wines Mataro Grenache Shiraz 2021 G 94 A bit of a monster here that packs a serious punch with a deep ruby colour followed by lashings of dark fruits – fruit pastille and blackberry at its core but also with delicious peppery, meaty complexity. A moreish and impressive palate follows with a powerful core of savoury fruits well balanced with a firm backbone of tannins before brightening up on a long finish. Exceptional balance is the key here. 2024–2030
