95 / 100"Brooding, dark fruited red, impossibly youthful and fresh-feeling with cola-cherry, raspberry liquorice and strong, Aussie bush characters here. Tense, long, seriously fine, and albeit concentrated drives with energy and torsion. Great and yet fine tannin grip too. An exceptional and fine-boned expression"

Tasting Notes
The Shiraz Mataro is delicious, more ethereal than the straight Shiraz, with some structure evident from the Mataro. There’s a lift in perfume that follows too
