2015 Magnolia 1896 Shiraz
Magnolia 1896 Barossa Valley Shiraz 2015
From the 1896 planting, wild yeast fermented, matured in used French puncheons. The sheer power and intensity of this full-bodied wine neutralises any downside from the high alcohol, the overall flavour and mouthfeel on the savoury side, not jammy. Flows across the mouth adding touches of licorice and jet black fruits. Cork. 15.5%alc. Rating 97 To 2045
