95 Points - Jeni Port
Mount Langi Ghiran in the Grampians has long been regarded as one of Australia's leading cool-climate Shiraz makers, and their Cliff Edge Shiraz always punches well above its weight in the value for money stakes.
Supremely elegant and supple, the 2019 Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz continues the outstanding recent form of this wine; delivering intense red and black cherry fruit flavours, blackberry and hints of raspberry.
These flavours are complimented by subtle tannins, lively acidity and the pepper spice the region is famous for. The impressive length and balance makes it a standout Shiraz at this price that will appeal to the many fans of Mount Langi Ghiran.
"95 Points. A range of clones lend character to the delicious complexity in this wine. You have to wonder about their powerful role. Deep, dense purple. A beautifully elegant expression of concentrated spice, pepper and black-hearted shiraz. Revels in lifted aromatics of violet and woodsy spice, anise and chocolate, with a surge of fine tannins and vanillan oak through to the finish. Screw cap. 14.5% alc. To 2032. $35" - Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion 2022.
