Hewitson The Mad Hatter Shiraz 2022

Description

The Mad Hatter represents a parcel selection from sites across the Barossa. The fruit is ripe and velvety, all blackberry and blueberries with hints of baking spices, vanillin oak, chocolate, ginger snaps, violets and lighter notes of tobacco lead and roasting meats. There’s a pithiness to the fine tannins, which gently tug at the roof of the mouth, slowly fading away with ripe, spiced fruits and a pleasing sense of harmony. Drink from: 2023. Drink by: 2033. Score – 93. (Dave Brookes, winecompanion.com.au, May 4, 2024)
