Singlefile, Riversdale Vineyard, Shiraz, Frankland River, 2017

A return to form, as per the 2015. Deep black/blue plum, woody and exotic spice. Throw some meaty wet wool and earthy baked rhubarb stalk and a savoury, slick, polished extra stoniness. The slickness continues through the palate. Giving a polished performance, there’s a shiny dark obsidian mineral edge that balances the tarry fruit with a briny spicy finish and grainy tannins. Needs solid glassware and venison.
