Henschke 2021 Tappa Pass Shiraz

 

With Father's Day just around the corner, this very fine shiraz from one of Australia's top producers might be worthy of consideration. Ticking all the organic and biodynamic boxes and coming from a very good vintage, this is blend of shiraz from the cooler Eden Valley and the warmer Barossa that has been grown on vines up to 70 years old. It is very cohesive, extremely stylish with maturation in mainly older oak giving it some serious sophistication. Dark, spicy, with layers of flavours, but very smooth on the palate. You can drink this now, or cellar it for a decade or more. A delightful drop with serious panache. $125. https://www.henschke.com.au/
