2022 Maxwell Ellen Street Shiraz 6 Pack

95 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Richly fruited and enticing, the wine shows black and blueberry, vanillin oak, toasted spice, and floral characters on the nose, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate offering plump mouthfeel and fleshy texture. Superbly structured and expressed with waves of delicious flavours. www.maxwellwines.com.au.

Marcus Ellis - Halliday's Wine Companion

This is an emblematic Maxwell wine, from vines planted in 1953 on the lower reaches of the estate. Matured in French and American oak, 20% new. Another mild year, and a relatively elegant expression of this wine. There’s no lack of intensity, just a little more breathing space. Blackberry, dark plum, anise, cacao nibs, worn leather, raspberry pastille, allspice, clove and brown cardamom. There’s richness here, but also reserve and balance. It’s a good release.
