Voyager Shiraz 2016

This is iron fist in a velvet glove stuff. Its immediate inclusion of black fruits, spice, French oak and tannins all have a stately quality, yet the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This is a new generation Margaret River shiraz that has moved on from being a bit experimental to the stage where it can stand up to Margaret River cabernet. Drink by: 2031. Score – 94.
