Mayford Shiraz 2013 – 95 Points

This 2013 Mayford Shiraz follows in the footsteps of the superb 2013 Mayford Tempranillo. It takes time to come up in the glass but the depth of fruit here is the best I have seen from a Mayford Shiraz. It takes quality and stakes it firmly in the ground. It’s rich with dark cherry plum, smoky oak, chocolate, game and Asian spice, though it’s the stretch of dry tannin pulling through the luxury of flavour that really sets it apart. On the first day I tried it I wasn’t quite sure. On the second, I was certain. It’s a wine of presence and command.
