Domenica Estate Shiraz 2024

Deep red laced with purple; intense aromas of graphite, black pepper, fresh-turned earth, violets, tar and underlying blackberry. The wine is medium-full bodied and very intense, with concentrated flavour underpinned by ample but gentle tannins and concluding with prodigious length. A cracking shiraz of great energy and vitality. And amazing value for money! (96) HUON HOOKE

An address sitting pretty amidst the regional firmament, supported by an excellent 2022 syrah. Superlative aromas of mace, charcuterie, tapenade and florals. The fruit, blue and savory, is really not the point. It is more about the lithe framework of structural attributes, from the precise acidity, sinuous tannins and impeccably integrated whole bunches. I'd be happy to breach this mid-weighter with an aggressive decant, or hold for greater complexity across the mid-term. Very fine syrah. (97) JAMES SUCKLING
