Gaelic Cemetery McAskill Clare Valley Shiraz 2019

This powerful, oak-matured, single-vineyard 95pt Clare Shiraz is named in honour of John McAskill who, in 1860, donated the land next door to be used as a cemetery for the Gaelic-speaking Scottish pioneers of the Clare Valley. Plum, blueberries and cranberry flavours, with a swirl of vanilla, define this opulent offering. Tangy acid and fine-grained tannins drive to a long finish. Decant to discover its: “ Bright and lively blueberry fruit…” (Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion) and "… elegant complexity" along with "ripe fruit intensity combined with refined texture and fine tannins" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).,
