2014 Eagles Rest 'Maluna' Shiraz
"From the great '14 vintage, only 500 dozen made. As is typical, it is medium-bodied, with an earthy/savoury background to the plum and blackberry fruits, accentuated here by the impact of French oak. The tannins are typical, and provide the structure for long-term ageing - Cellar up to 2044" - James Halliday 2017
