2023 Agricola Ebenezer Shiraz 750ML Bottle

This is from the Hoffmann Dallwitz vineyard, with 1888 through to 1912 plantings. and the Hoffmann  Dimchurch 1951 vines. It's super deep and generous with some Cornas-like rust and iodine characters and an exotic stem-like herbal / amaro complexity along with ripe and really concentrated ripe and dark opulent fruit. Cheers, Randall!

"This is potent and rich, a kind of rustic charm to it all, yet levity and relaxed feel too. Strength exists in dusty tannins that wrap woody spices, sweet spices, toasty notes and a lavish array of ripe raspberry, dark plum, currants and choc-cherry. Lush, yet tension too. There’s a pleasing thickness here yet a lift as well. It’s really spice-laden is the message, I just feel that needs repeating, and geez, overall, it’s really interesting and good in that regard. Individual. Alongside, texture does plush, somewhat chewy, a dusty and clove-spiked profile lingering. A textural haven! Sheesh, so much on here. A feast! It’s great.." 95 Points; Mike Bennie, Wine Front
