Utopos Shiraz 2017

Vibrant purple-splashed crimson in the glass with aromas of super-ripe satsuma plum, blueberry and blackberry fruits. High-toned notes of citrus blossom and violets along with layers of spice, licorice, dark chocolate, fruitcake, panforte, olive tapenade and earth. Fine, sandy tannins provide ample structure for the plush black and dark fruits, the structure boding well for an extended cellaring potential. Drink from: 2024. Drink by: 2040. Score – 95.
