STUNNING BARGAIN! AN ABSOLUTE NO BRAINER!
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 Shiraz gives intense eucalypt, blackberry and blueberry preserves aromas with dark chocolate and baking spice nuances. Very crisp, full-bodied and with plenty of mouth-filling warm berry flavors, it has a medium-firm level of grainy tannins, finishing long. Drink this one now to 2016. " (WA)
"Bright purple. Cherry-vanilla and blackberry on the nose, with complicating notes of mocha and woodsmoke. Plush, sappy, deeply pitched blackberry and candied cherry flavors show no rough edges and pick up a peppery quality with air. The vanilla note comes back on the intense finish." (IWC)
Winery Notes:
100% Shiraz from Langhorne Creek and Limestone Coast with hints of chocolate, pepper and tobacco leaf on the nose. Blackcurrant, rhubarb and spicy aniseed flavors abound on the palate, and are perfectly balanced by fine, supple tannins. The wine spent 12 months in oak, and was bottled early to maintain the fresh, lifted fruit character on the nose which comes from the Langhorne Creek component. |
