Hugh Hamilton The Rascal Shiraz 2022

Upfront and immediately appealing, the wine shows dark berry, star anise, rich floral, and toasted nut aromas on the nose. The palate is equally appealing with a weighty mouthfeel and fleshy texture, backed by loads of silky tannins, making it flavoursome and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2036.
