Tasted alongside the 2020, this 2021 Dero Shiraz is so different (which reflects the vintages almost diametrically opposed, but the fruit sourcing surely must contribute, too). This is pure and refined, with wild raspberry, cassis and red apple skins, clove, star anise and blackberry pie. Philosophically, this wine feels far more cohesive and compiled than the previous vintage. This is very, very different in expression—the 2020 is savory, earthy and a bit meaty, while this 2021 wine is silken, all flow and line, with poise of tannin. Still, the oak is biscuity as in the 2020 (Bordelais Cooper? Malt-o-milk character), but it is absorbed by the fruit.) Excellent. Yes. Very good.

Lifted and bright aromas of wild raspberries, blackberry bush, dark cherries, licorice, violets and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied with finely tuned tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of mulberries, bitter chocolate and baking spices. There's a lot to like here, with a nice level of polish and character. Drink or hold.
