John Duval Eligo Shiraz Barossa Valley 2020
Intense waves of plum and blackberry with hints of anise and dark chocolate. Richly textured with a multitude of plush yet powerful dark fruit layers. Deep, pure fruited and commanding. The palate also displays hints of baking spice and licorice, finishing with integrated, fine grippy tannins. While seductive in its primary fruited youth, the 2020 Eligo will benefit from at least five years of cellaring and should age gracefully for over fifteen years.. 97/100 JH
