The Lane Reunion Single Vineyard Shiraz

Never have the gravelly, granitic soils of this elevated Adelaide Hills site been preserved with such precision of firm, long-haul definition, within a style as monumentally intense as this. Riveting layers of black plum skin, blueberries, black olives, fresh liquorice straps, black pepper, dark chocolate, exotic spice, even fresh bitumen, engine room, coal steam and signature Adelaide Hills rain on granite. Yet never for an instant deviating from its refreshingly medium bodied restraint, bright acidity and savoury, upright demeanour. A wine of exacting detail, definition, structure and timeless persistence. $52 at Discount Wines and Cellar d’Or.
