2021 Hoffmann Mickan Shiraz
Steve Leszczynski (www.qwinereviews.com)
94 Points - A cool Friday night and a glass of this curled up on the lounge would be a winning combo. A blend of the Dallwitz, Becker and SCC, each contributes roughly a third to this wine.
As with the others, this is still so young and no where near its best. Blackcurrants, mulberries, licorice, dark chocolate set the scene. Ribbed with exotic spices, this is long and almost refuses to move. Dense, brooding and structured, those firm and drying tannins certainly make a statement. It's a wine with a decade of aging easily in its veins. Mouth-sapping dryness swoop on close as those characteristic Barossan spices do laps around the mouth with absolute ease. I'm fixated on its mystique.
A clever wine that will only get better.
