2015 Hope Estate The Ripper Shiraz, Western Australia (750 mL)

TASTING NOTES:

There’s a barnyard funk to this that some will love and some might squirm at, but there’s also plenty of ripe strawberry fruit, chocolate, earth and smoke. The palate shows plenty of drying, savory tannins balanced by fresh acidity. Everything wraps up with an earthy, savory finish. level of velvety tannins and bright acidity. It finishes with good persistence. Drink it now to 2017.
