Tournon by M Chapoutier, Mathilda Shiraz 2017

“Crushed and destemmed, fermented in a concrete tank, 21 days on skins, 50 matured in old oak, 50% in tank. Cut-priced winemaking for some high quality shiraz fruit that is rich and mouthfilling. A surprise packet.” - James Halliday

"Dark and earthy, with hints of roasted meat, black olive and asphalt on the nose. Yet on the palate, there's a New World sense of blueberry and blackberry fruit that's ripe without being sweet yet dry and savory on the softly dusty finish." - Wine Advocate
