Gundog Estate, Rare Game, Shiraz, Hunter Valley, 2017

A spice shop of clove and pepper over sumptuous plum, fresh kidskin leather, scorched almonds and chocolate ganache. Intense, concentrated fruit that surges with power and finesse. Impeccable dark berry fruit, with an elegance and brightness that belies the cellaring potential. An excellent wine.
