Review: Blue Pyrenees Section One Shiraz 2018

Thick, purple fruited Pyrenees Shiraz with deep, chunky and powerful purple berry fruit and layered with sweet oak. Oh yes, this Blue Pyrenees Section One Shiraz 2018 makes a big statement.

Sourced from the oldest plantings in Section One, this reminds me of the big Warrenmang Shiraz, a reference point, all force and impact and oak and acid. It’s a teensy bit warm and tart to be truly compelling, but the muscular, purple fruited form has the thickness to last for decades, even if I couldn’t quite drink it now. Best drinking: wait five years at least. Blue Pyrenees website. 17.7/20, 92/100. 14%, $38. Would I buy it? A glass.
