This supple, dark cocoa-lined Shiraz recalls McLaren Vale, with its dense blueberry, dark floral musk, hint of cool mint and dusty tobacco character. Ripe and powdery black fruits lend heft to the full palate, weighing a few grams more than the moderate acidity can bear. Chewy tannins take this to a chocolate-mint finish. Lamb chops with mint sauce, please.
