Maxwell's 2018 Ellen Street Shiraz comes from vines planted in 1953. Marked by strong menthol and black cherry aromas, it boasts a distinctive character. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's plush and round, concentrated and supple, with that yin-yang of green herbs and ripe fruit repeating through a long, silky finish. I suspect my rating will appear conservative to those who enjoy those herbal notes.
