Eisenstone, McDonald Vyd Marananga Shiraz SV904 other_regions_italy the NV Brut Premier CruThe incredibly stylish 2022 Shiraz McDonald Marananga SV904 is beautifully composed with a natural unforced generosity and even shape underpinned by a firm structure. Powerfully focused aromas of licorice and musky plum are enriched by spicy oak and followed by a bright, energetic and tightly controlled chocolatey palate. Composure again comes to the fore and holds its shape over a long finish. The 2022 is claret like and will age very well.
