Hentley Farm The Beast Shiraz 2013

 Like the fabled character, the Beast is big and bold, yet has a beautiful soft side...  Selected from a single block high on the hill, where the soils are shallow and the sunlight is even, you can expect the Beast to exhibit great concentration of flavour and richness, with soft grippy tannins.

“Awesomely powerful, with a tsunami of sombre black fruits, licorice and tannins to match, overwhelm you the moment the wine enters the mouth. It is, of course, full-bodied, and doesn’t have the fluid grace of the other Hentley Farm ’13 Shirazs. It is indeed a beast, but will repay those who put their faith in the high quality corks used by Henley Farm.” – 95 Points James Halliday"
