Recent tastings included a number of top-flight McLaren Vale Shirazes from the 2010 vintage. This one shows a bit of smoky oak upfront, which serves to frame the potent blackberry fruit and prevent it from coming across as overly jammy. Instead, it's rich and velvety, concentrated but still drinkable, with a long, long finish. Drink now–2025.
