Rusden 'Black Guts' Shiraz 2018

Deep crimson in the glass, it opens with a heady bouquet of black plum, liquorice, and blackberry compote, layered with dark chocolate, espresso, and hints of fennel seed. The palate is rich and full-bodied, showcasing concentrated black fruit, smoky oak, and a touch of coconut from American oak maturation. Velvety tannins wrap around a core of ripe fruit and spice, with mocha and vanilla lingering on the long, plush finish.
