Clare Valley, Australia
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazClare Valley, AustraliaA dark and brooding nose, bitumen and tar, fennel, chocolate with hints of wood smoke and charcuterie superbly interwoven. Opulently textured but offering surprising balance and poise, the primary flavours of dark chocolate, cherry plums and licorice impressively arrive then seamlessly lead into a long finish wrapped in smoked meats, finely positioned tannins and positive acid structure. A wine to enjoy now, but with further cellaring, a wine to celebrate the ages with.

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.

Very deep red/purple - again, excellent colour. Essency dark plum and coconutty oak aromas. The palate is massively deep and dense, powerful, so thick and concenetrated you could almost eat it with a spoon. Very sweet fruit, luscious and yet not overripe nor lacking elegance. All things are in fine balance. Great length, too. Impressive wine.
