HICKINBOTHAM CLARENDON VINEYARD BROOKS ROAD SHIRAZ MCLAREN VALE SOUTH AUSTRALIA 2016

This Shiraz shows the characters this vineyard has displayed since the start, but perhaps in a more elegant, harmonious and balanced form. Its consistency is comforting and reassuring, buttressed by blue and black fruit notes throughout. It is readily enjoyable but has all the structure, acid and tannin to offer decades of rewards from cellaring.
