Zonte’s Footstep Chocolate Factory Shiraz 2020

It’s impressively ripe and lifted on the nose showing dark fruit intensity, smoked game, roasted nut and violet aromas. The palate displays awesome weight and richness, combined with silky texture and fine-grained tannins, making it wonderfully flavoursome and fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2034. Score – 93. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, May 2022)
