Lot #593. John Duval Wines Shiraz Entity 2012

Description: Consists of 9 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 96 JS.
"This is, I think, the best edition of this carefully assembled shiraz composed of parcels selected from Krondorf, Ebenezer, Greenock and the Eden Valley. The nose is ripe and mellow, giving up layers of rich blackberry and Angelina-plum fruit. There's a wealth of spices and a soulful, earthy depth, as well as an ever-so-slightly-smoky, tarry edge. The palate is smoothly honed and focuses on a dense mid-palate presence that holds plenty of bright blackberry and plum flavors. Deceptively sturdy tannins carry hauntingly throughout – shadowy and in the background; they will underpin some considerable cellaring given the chance. But drinking very well already. Full credit to the masterful Duval." JamesSuckling.com, January 27th, 2015
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $375
