LANGMEIL
The Freedom 1843 Shiraz 2022
- 94 points -
This wine shows great old-vine character coming from vines planted in 1843. Aromas of blackberries, blood plums, mocha, tobacco leaves and ferric earth. The palate is densely packed, with ultra-fine tannins and bright acidity that give layers of complexity. So textural and refined, with a long life ahead. Drink or hold.
