Brokenwood 2013 Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz (Hunter Valley)

Country: Australia / Graveyard Vineyard
Variety: Shiraz New South Wales
Winery: Brokenwood / Hunter Valley

This wine was inadvertently tasted against a bunch of Barossa giants, so I may have underestimated it. It still held its own, delivering subtle notes of plum, cinnamon and clove, plus hints of olive and mocha. It’s medium in body, with some herbal notes, yet finishes dusty and mouthwatering. Drink now–2028.
