Claymore “Dark Side of The Moon” Shiraz 2021 (3 x 750ml)

Tasting notes: Our crowd pleasing perennial favourite; elegantly structured with juicy, rich fruit. Following three consecutive years of below average rainfall our dry grown Clare Valley vineyards produced small crops of intense, delicious fruit. Powerful, yet elegant - dark and deeply brooding we know that time in the bottle will reward. Reviews: 94 points, James Halliday, Wine Companion HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION TOP VALUE SELECTIONS Matured in French oak for 14 months (10% new). 2020 was a compounded drought year in SA, and yielded wines of concentration and power. Dry-grown vineyards are at the forefront of yield reduction here. Blood plum, red licorice, blackberries, mulberries, raspberries and spice. This is a satisfying, dense and a compelling drink, especially at the price. Few places on the planet can achieve concentration in shiraz like South Australia can. It's very impressive. 5 Stars & Best Shiraz, Yvonne Lorkin, Canvas "Top Wines of the Year Awards" October 2021 (2020 Vintage) "This scary-good shiraz reminds me of my mate Vicky. Her nickname is “the Queen of Darkness”. She has hair as black as a serpent’s pupil, the bluntest fringe in the known universe and a mood as mysterious as whatever the O stands for on the label. She’s a lone wolf, endlessly hunting down stunning shiraz like this. Sourced from Claymore’s dry-farmed (non-irrigated), Clare Valley vineyards, this cocoa crammed,liquorice-laden, blackcurrant boosted example is impressively structured, with fine-grained, gorgeously grippy tannins and a smoky graphite core. Superb."
