Farmer's Leap Random Shot Shiraz 2020, Padthaway, South Australia

Inky ruby in colour, almost opaque. The nose is quite detectable in glass, black currant dominant in the forenose, with trace of vanilla and passing mint. Afternose shows caramel and a hint of pepper. Full bodied. The medium tannins reinforce the impression of spiciness. Not austerely dry, sweetness and acidity in balance. Pleasant and very quaffable, should be a crowd pleaser. On the scale Wow-Good-Decent, I rate it Good.
