Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet Shiraz
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet ShirazIt's still holding up really well, showing plenty of richness, fruit sweetness, mocha/roasted coffee/ herb garden flavours and fine chalky/savoury tannins. It finishes brambly, long and sweet. A delicious old wine.
Mellow, mature, yet still with strong sweet fruit. Some caramel and berry flavours. Wonderful wine, and wonderful to enjoy.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Rich, spicy, leathery. Big hit of fragrance and flavour. Like this a lot. Rich, aged completeness about it. Tannin. Extremely impressive wine. Finishes with a delicious sweet-savoury burst. Not sure how to score a wine like this but it’s a superb old beauty.

Meaty and very complex; superb bouquet; dry and savoury but multi-layered and savoury stylish. Rich still and full of flavour and flesh and depth. Delish. Still has sweetness.
