Hickinbotham Brooks Road Shiraz 2020 Review
This is a single-vineyard Shiraz named after the road it sits on in South Australia, and it's stunning. It has a rich, meaty nose with savory dark fruit and hints of pepper wafting about. The palate is balanced between dense fruit, savory notes, and grippy tannins.
