2021 Mystery McLaren Vale Shiraz Deal No. 63

96 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

It's opulent and enticing on the nose, showing dark fruit intensity, cedar, warm spice and dark chocolate aromas. The palate is equally impressive with awesome weight and power, wonderfully framed by plush texture and beautifully melded tannins. Sumptuous and hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2039.

From a great region and a stellar vintage, expectations were high for this wine. And more than met. A cracker. From a range of vineyards, the wine spends time maturing in a mix of French and American oak, some new, some a little older. The colour here is an opaque maroon. Rich and ripe, big and bold, this will thrill lovers of top-notch McLaren Vale Shiraz. The nose is oozing with notes of chocolate, blackberries, mocha, licorice, bay leaves and coffee beans, along with just a touch of bergamot. A seductive palate, cushiony tannins and great length, this is an absolute star of a wine. A ten year proposition.
