100% Shiraz. This bottle of Shiraz has a dense inky black core with a bright dark red black hue. Showing good aromatic lift out of the glass is a mix of freshly crushed dark plum, liquorice and blackberry scents trailed by hints of earthy graphite like characters and pepper. Rich blackberry, liquorice and plum fruits have an inky yet fresh feel overlaying vanillin cedar and peppered earth characters. Slightly dryish finish with polished tannins, youthful acidity and a mid length aftertaste. The palate combines rich Barossa fruit with a soft and approachable texture, look for plum, mulberries, raspberries and an array of spices.
