Mount Pleasant Old Paddock & Old Hill Shiraz

 The financials of Mount Pleasant have been problematic of late, but some of their key wines shine.



The 2014 Mount Pleasant Old Paddock & Old Hill Shiraz still shines bright ruby in the glass. On the palate, black and red forest berries are matched with black pepper notes. This is an elegant wine with a kick. It is medium-bodied, and not super concentrated, but the silky texture is enticing. This wine has a long finish with mulberry flavours. It is a beautiful balanced wine. 

For those who are focused on South Australian Shiraz, I encourage you to taste this wine. You will not be disappointed. You can take your time, this wine will gain complexity for many years and last well for another 20, I think.

Score: 96/+++
