Eperosa Magnolia 1896 Shiraz 2020 (AC 97)

Andrew Caillard MW 97 points.
Deep crimson. Pure blackberry pastille, cassis aromas with dark chocolate/ graphite notes. Lovely buoyant blackberry, blackcurrant, mulberry fruits with brambly nuance, fine al dente/ grippy/ muscular tannins and integrated praline mocha notes. Finishes chocolaty/ leafy with persistent dark fruits. Evocative and refined yet powerful with the density and torque for longevity. Drink 2025- 2035 13.3% alc 97 points.
