Kilikanoon Attunga 1865 Shiraz presents a deep red colour with vibrant crimson hues. Its nose is dark and brooding, featuring notes of bitumen, tar, fennel, chocolate, and hints of wood smoke and charcuterie intricately woven together. On the palate, it offers opulent texture while maintaining surprising balance and poise. Dark chocolate, cherry plums, and liquorice dominate the primary flavours, seamlessly leading into a long finish characterized by notes of smoked meats, finely positioned tannins, and a positive acid structure. This is a wine to be enjoyed now, yet with further cellaring potential, it promises to be a wine worthy of celebration over time.
