Paxton Jones Block Shiraz 2017, McLaren Vale
Four consecutive vintages awarded 96 points Halliday, the 2017 is the latest to receive the points and gold medal. Single estate Shiraz from McLaren Vale is a big jewel in the crown. Hand picked, matured in French and American barriques for 22 months. “This is an unabashed powerhouse, dripping with black fruits, dark chocolate, licorice and earthy tannins to hold the fruit in place.” James Halliday
