Heathcote Shiraz is defined by its inky depth and deep, complex dark fruit, and the ancient orange Cambrian soils give Max's Garden its distinctive mineral, savory edge. Voluptuous yet balanced, with acid and tannin melding around the fruit rather than dominating it. With a decade in bottle, the 2015 is drinking beautifully now while retaining the structure to hold.
