Howard Park Leston Shiraz 2018

Splendidly fruited and complex, the enticing bouquet shows blackberry, sweet cherry, subtle vanilla and hazelnut characters. It’s equally gratifying on the palate offering plump mouthfeel together with delectable fruit flavours and a prolonged velvety finish. At its best: 2023 to 2036. Score – 96.
