Monterra Shiraz 2022

Wonderfully fruited and composed, showing dark fruit intensity, assorted nut, mixed spice and floral characters on the nose with a hint of cocoa complexity. It’s plump and flavoursome in the mouth, offering terrific fruit weight and richly textured mouthfeel, leading to a splendidly long, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2035. Score – 94.
