2024 Torzi Matthews 'Francesca Grillo Collina Calcarea' Shiraz - Barossa Valley, SA. 750ml
92 year old vines from Angaston, with no added SO2.
Meaty and spicy, black olive, blackberry and black cherry, some dried flower perfume. It’s medium-bodied, but quite dense, saline and savoury with ripe dark cherry, orange peel and liquorice flavours. Tannin is soft but kind of silty in feel, quite mild in acidity, and the finish is meaty, spicy, and long. It feels a little less spritely than previous vintages, and different too, perhaps more typically Barossan, though maybe deeper and more concentrated. Very good anyway.
