2018 Coriole 'Willunga 1920' Reserve Shiraz 750ml

Deep and dark purple colour in the glass. Cherry Ripe aromatics of dark chocolate and ripe berry fruit. Oak is toasty. Graphite and licorice add earthy charm. Gently round when sipped, an initial burst of mulberry fruit channels quickly into lovely, lifted red cherry acidity. Modern and lively. Loads of length. Kudos 96 points Huon Hooke therealreview.com An old site established in 1920 services the name. This is a smooth ride. Dense. Mocha, black olive, mulberry, blueberry and spice, with a spool of pepper-doused acidity towing the rear long and effortless. The cedary oak glosses the fabric, rather than ripping it apart. Exceptional warm climate shiraz. 95 points James Halliday winecompanion.com.au  Deep, dark and perfumed. Dark chocolate, damp earth, lavender and spice, ripe blackberry and raspberry, black olive rolled in dried herbs. It’s full-bodied, rippling with earthy and ferrous tannin, saline and fragrant, has grip and depth of flavour, and rolls out very long, with a distinct toasted hazelnut flavour as it goes. Powerful and distinctive. 95 points winefront.com.au
