Description

John Duval Integro cabernet shiraz

Aromas of vibrant redcurrant and blackcurrant, plum, pepper and clove. On the palate it’s alive with a brilliant array of intense blue fruit and blackcurrants supported by an elegant framework of long mouth coating tannins. Rich in texture, fleshy and finishing long and pure.

 

98 pts – “Deep crimson. Complex blackcurrant, blackberry, praline, roasted chestnut mocha, marzipan notes. Richly flavoured, round and smooth with beautiful pure blackcurrant, blackberry mocha espresso flavours, fine loose-knit grainy tannins and underlying roasted chestnut, toffee notes. Finishes chocolaty and long with a long life ahead”. Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal May 2022

97 pts  “Stunning fruit purity and detail on display here, with cascades of blackberry and blackcurrant along with cassis, kirsch, spice, cedar and licorice. The fruit is the star though. Achingly pure and beautifully integrated with all the components of the wine. Lovely tannin and oak management too, with an opulent yet graceful flow through to the enduring finish.” Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion 10 March 2022
