"It's impressively ripe and lifted on the nose showing dark fruit intensity, smoked game, roasted nut and violet aromas. The palate displays awesome weight and richness, combined with silky texture and fine-grained tannins, making it wonderfully flavoursome and fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2034."

“The well-pitched 2020 Shiraz Chocolate Factory delivers sumptuous fruit in an attractive package. It presents vibrant black cherry and blackberry aromas with a perfumed violet complexity. An impressive balance between juicy red fruits and supple tannins follows with delicious approachability through to a silky finish. An excellent value and is ready to go. Drinking window 2022-2026”
