Shiraz Graveyard Vineyard, Brokenwood Wines 2014

Tasting Notes

From a great site and a great vintage, the 2014 Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz is an exemplar for Shiraz from the Hunter Valley. It's as structured as ever but with more depth than usual and an extra layer of generosity. Black cherry fruit is framed by acids and subtle notes of French oak (think pencil shavings and vanilla), showing terrific persistence on the finish, where the tannins are plentiful yet fine grained. It's not unapproachable now but expect it to age gracefully for two decades or more.
