2018 was a very powerful vintage in Western Australia, both for reds and whites. It is for this reason that the oak on the nose of the 2018 Shiraz Scotsdale—prominent at this stage—is excused. We know that the fruit quality has the gravitas to stand up to it, and certainly in the mouth, the fruit shows a brilliant line and length across the palate. The structuring tannins are really the highlight in this wine and show a satisfying chew and texture through the finish. Nicely done.
