Giant Steps "Harry's Monster" Bordeaux Blend 2020 (JH 94)

“This is a classy, medium-bodied rendition that will unfurl and garner more complexity given more time.”
95 points - Jane Faulkner.

James Halliday Wine Companion 94 points.
A blend of 55/40/5% merlot/cabernet/petit verdot. All barriques, 20% new. A medium deep, bright, plummy red. A good effort from this cooler year, this smells of dark cherry, damson plums, cedar and a dusting of fine, good-quality dark cacao powder. Good depth on the medium-bodied palate, too. The tannins are fine and persistent with good grip on the finish and while approachable now, with food, this will continue to improve in the bottle for at least the next 5–6 years, if not longer. 94 points.
