On colour
Mitre’s Edge Shiraz 2019 would typically show a deep ruby to ruby‑purple core with a narrow, slightly brighter rim, indicating youth with the first hints of development. The colour intensity would be high but still limpid, suggesting ripe skins and confident extraction rather than heaviness.
On the nose
The nose would likely be pronounced and dark‑fruited, with aromas of blackberry, black cherry and plum at the core. Classic Syrah notes of black pepper, violets and a touch of smoked meat, together with subtle vanilla, cocoa and sweet spice from barrel ageing, would add savoury complexity.
On the palate
On the palate the wine would be dry, medium‑ to full‑bodied and firmly structured, delivering flavours of blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum supported by medium+ acidity. Fine but persistent tannins, peppery spice, gentle smokiness and integrated oak would carry through to a long, warming, savoury finish with good ageing potential.
On the whole
A structured, pepper‑scented Shiraz style, balancing ripe dark fruit, fresh acidity, firm tannins and subtle smoky, spicy oak in a food‑friendly frame.
