Description
Named after David Wynn’s young son, Wynn’s Michael Shiraz is their best-of-vintage Shiraz.
It is a legend in the Australian wine story and is produced in small quantities and only exceptional vintages.
Clean, pure, elegant expression of Coonawarra shiraz.
So clean and straight-laced I’m tempted to call it clinical.
Spice-shot plums/raspberries, cinnamon doughnuts, cedarwood, white pepper and more robust blackberry/boysenberry.
Fine web of tannin gains assertiveness as it rests in the glass.
It’s not clumsy as it finishes but the tannin/fruit combination hasn’t quite ironed itself out either.
Will age long term.
