A serious Shiraz, this Cape Barren Wild Goose is a big step up from the Native Goose Shiraz. Bold yet it walks with a sophisticated swagger, it slides through effortlessly.
It sees a mix of American and French oak (no detail on how much or how long supplied) and the oak shows its hand early but settles. Vibrant aromas skip out - think baked raspberry tart, dark cherries, generous plums, shards of dark chocolate and pink peppercorns. An abundance of juicy blackberries consumes the mouth with a neat touch of vanillin. Brick dust tannins and an array of fine spices cling to a persistent finish. Decant to enjoy now or relax and let it sit for the long term. Beautiful!
