This is a very good Hilltops bottling, a sub-region with the altitude to obviate the wet weather of a cooler year, while accentuating a bit more ripeness. Mid-weighted, spicy and boasting real verve. Riffs on clove, menthol, white pepper, blue fruit allusions and dried aniseed ripple across a vertical skein of freshness, while finely wrought, gently gritty tannins compress the long finish. This has the most concentration of the three shiraz/syrah without being heavy in the slightest. Excellent showing. Drinkable now, but best after 2026. Screw cap. 93 POINTS, JAMES SUCKLING
