2019 d'Arenberg The Laughing Magpie Shiraz Viognier 6 Pack

Ned Goodwin - JamesSuckling.com

While I can't get my head around the acidity and oak here, there are sophisticated aromas of smoked meat, violet and macerated cherry. Spice and pepper notes come together before their endeavours to linger gracefully are damned by the winemaking artifice. Perhaps there is still a crowd for this sort of wine.
