Shanahans If Forever Exists Shiraz 2020

Sourced from a single block, hand-picked grape by grape for exceptional quality, then aged three years in French and American oak without compromise. No fining. No filtration. Just pure expression of what century-old vines can achieve when treated with reverence. Deep garnet in the glass, it opens with profound complexity: dark chocolate, blackberries, mulberry, fig, and spice, layered with dried herbs and pencil shavings. Plush blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry leap from the glass alongside baking spices, fruitcake, cedar, turned earth, and hints of choc-mint that speak of serious terroir. The palate goes massive - velvety structure perfectly balanced between fruit-forward power and savoury sophistication. Dark chocolate, mocha, black olive emerge within chewy tannins and uplifting acid. The finish simply goes on and on. We'd say you could happily cellar this for 10-15 years, but really... If Forever Exists...
