The crowd-pleasing 2022 Shiraz Greenock SR801 opens with luscious aromas of dark cherry, cocoa and meat juices, with a lovely purity of sweet fruit. Dense drying tannins underpin a juicy, energetic style that is punchy and vibrant, with a mix of fruit pastille and cola flavors to finish. Five years of aging will see this wine hit its peak.
