Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch Wild Ferment Shiraz 2016

It’s often a lovely wine. This 2016 fits that description. It’s pretty. Its floral. It’s awash with sweet spice, black pepper and star anise in there but there’s other stuff. Black cherry, redcurrant, slightly jellied, slightly smoky. A whisper of gum leaf, but it feels positive, it doesn’t detract at all. An all-round succulence. A lip smacking drinkability. That’s what it offers. Drink: 2018-2026. Score – 93. (Campbell Mattinson, winefront.com.au, March 29, 2018)
