Hentley Farm The Beast Shiraz 2015

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. 

"Very deep red colour with purple tints. An impressive wine, tremendously rich and powerful. It has astonishing density and concentration of colour, bouquet and flavour. Oaky, chocolaty, mocha-like, the texture thick and chewy, with some alcohol heat and fleshiness."
97 points, Huon Hooke (October 2017)

"Well I don't know about The Beast, but this is power in liquid form, taking no prisoners. It is unequivocally full-bodied, and should ideally be allowed to mature for a minimum of 5 years, preferably 10. Its black fruits are shot through with spice, licorice and savoury tannins that would do cabernet proud. 96 points
