The broody, young 2022 Shiraz Marananga SR804 is a more savory style, with dense aromas of roasted meats, gravels and toasted spices, with a sweet blackberry backbone. Muscular tannins keep lavish levels of flavor in check through to a long, strong finish. It's a keeper but already very attractive. Angus Hughson, Vinous Magazine 94 Points
