Alpha Crucis Clarendon Shiraz 750ml 2021

From Clarendon in McLaren Vale, the 2021 Alpha Crucis Shiraz offers a bold, well-structured expression of the vintage. Rich dark fruit with chocolate and spice, supported by integrated oak and firm tannins. Has aging potential, yet approachable now with grilled red meats and hearty dishes. Tasting Notes: - Aroma: Blackberry, black plum, dark chocolate, vanilla, baking spice, with a hint of leather. - Palate: Full-bodied, ripe tannins; flavors of blackberry, plum, espresso, cocoa, and toasted oak; balanced acidity. - Finish: Long and warming, with dark fruit and spice lingering and a peppery lift.
