Tyrrell’s Rufus Stone Heathcote Shiraz 2021

Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of fatty, crispy duck skin with plum sauce, eucalyptus, mole, and sweet tobacco with a syrupy, fruity full body and a peppery, delightful, very long finish with notes of cherry ricola cough drops, blackberry chutney, and blueberry compote with light oak flavor. A juicy, toothsome Aussie Shiraz with delicious berry and herb flavors in fine balance. Exceptional. [Drink through 2021+.] Score – 94. (tastings.com, June 3, 2022)
