Howard Park flirt between calling this Syrah to Shiraz with the new release. At time of writing, the 2019 is still for sale on the website. Note, bottle image is of 2019 and labelled Syrah but nought else has changed.

Howard Park, Flint Rock, Shiraz, Great Southern, 2020

Bruise purple with a bright rim. Juicy, fleshy peppery plum jam with roast capsicum dip, choc-nut bar, dark cherries and a touch of nori sheet umami. Plush and cuddly with a fine tail that draws the flesh in tight and closes with spice and fine, puckering, drying tannin. Crowd pleasing with class.

RRP: $30 (expected)
Alc: 14.5%
