Faber Vineyard 2017 Reserve Shiraz

"Beautiful wax on the capsule. Such great texture. A superb effort to find such thickness and evenness."

"Opulent, mouth-filling, palate-staining red of come hither sweetness and richness met by a cool undertow of acidity and well-judged woody spice. Cinnamon and clove sprinkled on ripe plum, currants, figs and somewhere in there liquorice and fennel like stuff. Such flow and smoothness though tannins come say hi at the smudged, long close. Bold, done strikingly well."
