2022 Grains of Paradise

$95.90

Silky brightness with a mid red colour and nice depth. A juicier iteration of Grains, with some sweet but elegant dried fruit notes on the nose, but avoiding overt stewed aromatics. Perhaps of all 2022 wines, a lighter on the feet version compared to the 2021, with a sweet plumpness and more elegant structure that will no doubt build with some time in the bottle. Some might even say more Syrah than Shiraz in 2022, heaven forbid!!

The American oak casks provide a sweet and spicy secondary undercurrent that begs for proper cellaring of 25+ years. The main course companion par excellence; pair with filet mignon, King Henry chops or French lamb racks.
