2023 Clonakilla O'Riada Shiraz VDP Maraschino cherries"I cannot fault this wine. Its so well spiced, without being excessively so. Its rushed with cherry plum fruit, its both refreshing and satiny, it folds, carefully, cedarwood and deli meat into the fruit, and the tannin is a masterclass of the fine, filigreed kind. After all that, or over arching it, is the fact that its a delightful drink, pretty, floral, solid where it needs to be, bright and balanced" 94 Points, Campbell Mattinson. The Wine Front
