Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz 2021

94 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson Halliday Wine Companion
"It's spicy and well fruited but mostly it's an exercise in putting all the various components exactly where they should be. Everything here feels exact, and exacting. Red cherried fruit, black pepper notes, integrated cedar oak and drifts of assorted florals, all of which hone to a long, peppery finish. It's mid-weight at most and it's all it needs to be. This is the kind of wine that gives elegance its good name."

"Beautiful, perfumed aromas greet from the start, cherry and dark plum with a spicy raspberry nuance. The palate is medium bodied and elegantly presented with those cherries and blackberry flavours emerging with a little sprinkle of pepper and dried herbs. The oak is well-weighted with the fine chalky tannins in support."

"Quite the dramatic name, is Cliff Edge. Could also be the name of an Australian private eye, and I’m something of a huge fan of the Cliff Hardy novels by Peter Corris. Anyway, that aside, average age of vines is now 25 years, and it gets 30% new French oak.Black cherry, raspberry, five spice, a little cedar oak. It’s medium to full-bodied, with plenty of cherry and forest berry fruit flavour, a fine dusty/peppery feel to tannin, quite fresh, with maybe something a little more savoury in the aftertaste, like black olive. The length is good also. It’s a good Cliff Edge, and also a rock solid expression of regional Shiraz."

"The 2021 Shiraz Cliff Edge is rocky and purple on the nose with crushed granite, blackberry, white pepper and raspberry compote. Not hugely complex, but it is hugely satisfying. This is a concentrated, cool-climate Shiraz. It's a great (super) value at around $30 AUD. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap."

Taltarni Pyrenees Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre 2021

93 Point Rated - Toni Paterson James Halliday Wine Companion
"These classic Rhone varietals have been expertly blended to create a wine with harmony and flow. The wine offers effortless drinking, with flavoursome dark cherry fruit accented by black pepper, anise, and red rose. Everything is in balance, and there are no harsh edges. Rather delicious."

"Grenache 45% Shiraz 37% Mourvèdre 18%. Raspberry, red cherries, black plum and mulberry. An assortment of red and black hues. Picked thyme, kalamata olive and dark chocolate mint. What follows is turned earth or potting soil savoury notes on the mid palate. This is a wine that delivers flavours right through from front to back, first sip to the last. Its lively and crunchy red fruit meet a savoury meaty mid palate followed by a hint of spice and hug of oak with pancetta and peppercorn the lasting impressions. Certainly a wine utilising the best of all three varieties in a cohesive way. I’d like to see this alongside charred meats, perhaps something skewered and on an open flame. Marinated lamb, pickled beans and flatbread would be a treat. Dressed in a puffy down jacket and crowded round a fire would be even more enticing."
