Margan Shiraz 2016

Margan Shiraz 2016

Classically proportioned Hunter Valley Shiraz. Easy to overlook wines like this, but they’ll always satisfy. Sweet plum earth, some background oak sweetness, plenty of acidity  and a plummy savouriness. The appeal here is the well-weighted, savoury yet still fruit rich core and earthy (but not dirty) Hunter style. Not everyone likes this style, but I’m a fan. Best drinking: Good now, good in a decade. 17.5/20, 91/100. 13.5%, $25. Would I buy it? A few glasses would go nicely.
