TN: Faber Vineyard 'Millard' Shiraz 2020

Post by Waiters Friend »

G'day

Faber's Millard Shiraz has been a favourite of mine from this producer for over a decade, and rivals theie Reserve Shiraz for flavour, concentration and longevity. The 2020 is the current release.

Purple black in colour and quite dense. Ripe dark plums on the expressive nose, with blueberry, blackberry, cloves, vanilla, Christmas cake and savoury oak notes. The palate is is full and rich, with more concentrated dark plums and berries, a little eucalypt or menthol, vanilla, chocolate / mocha, and more savoury oak (the oak does not dominate, but rather supports the wine). Acid is soft and the tannins are firm without being overly drying. Very long and satisfying finish.

An excellent example of full bodied Swan Valley shiraz.

Cheers
Allan
