The Pawn Wine Shiraz 2019

93 POINTS – Wine Orbit, Sam Kim
“Offering gorgeous fruit purity and poise, the wine shows Black Doris plum, blueberry, subtle spice and floral aromas on the nose, followed by a fruit-forward palate delivering fleshy texture and polished tannins. Beautifully harmonious and lingering with a silky finish. At its best: now to 2029.” 28 February 2021

93 POINTS – The Real Review, Ralph Kyte-Powell
“Purple-tinged, ruby-red in colour, this is very fragrant with aromas of berry pastille, liqueur cherry chocolates, spice, and a savoury hint of reduction. A round and succulent middleweight mouthful follows, ripe in sustained flavour and tangy with mouth-watering acidity. The tannins are soft and easy. Lovely balance. Very good.” 27 March 2022

The wine is intensely aromatic with a bouquet of wild red berries and black pepper along with cinnamon and plums. The palate is rich, displaying fruits such as blackberry and cherry complementing the spicy backbone of liquorice and chocolate. A hint of savouriness gives the wine an extra layer of complexity with good tight acidity and smooth velvety tannins.
