2017 Silkman Reserve Shiraz

2024-08-11T11:37:03Z

95 points - Dark medium red. Cherry and spices artfully interwoven. Fully mature and integrated. There is a subtle power about the medium weight palate that is decidedly alluring. Silken texture, owing to the quality of the tannins, with a fine minerality running the length of it. Outstanding example of a Hunter Shiraz.

94 points - Fruit sweet, plummy and walnutty aromas. Rich, lipsmacking flavour, medium to full bodied with some lightness of palate and finesse. A classy style. Some firmness, but well judged. The age is good.

94 points - Bright pale yellow. Effusive aroma with barrel work and reduction evident. Intensely flavoured, concentrated and powerful with aged tones coming through. Perhaps not super detailed but well made nevertheless. Very lengthy.

94 points - Dense, complex nose with leather and meaty notes. Savoury, salty characters, though lush on the palate. Well made if a trifle mono dimensional in terms of complexity.
