2019 The Professor Shiraz. Igor Larionov
South Australia,
Australia,
14% vol., 2 140
Grape variety: Shiraz
The wine is medium ruby in colour. The first nose was with a clear reduction (the smell of burnt rubber). Aeration was needed. After 30 minutes in the decanter, the reduction was gone and notes of black berries, dark chocolate and spices opened up in the wine. On the palate, there are soft medium tannins, very well-balanced alcohol (14% vol.), a medium body, moderate fruit concentration on the medium finish. A lighter version of Shiraz from South Australia.
