Bleasdale 2014 The Powder Monkey Shiraz 750ml

Open-fermented, 15% whole berries, short cold soak, 9-12 on skins, matured for 12 months in French oak (27% new), two gold medals. Deep crimson-purple; resplendent in its generosity with plum and blackberry leading the juicy fruits, licorice, spice and soft tannins all singing the same song.

Score: 95 points -- James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
