Paradise IVDardel
Dry, Full Bodied style of Shiraz
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazDeep magenta in colour: aromatic and lifted with an array of scents that include: blood plum, red berries, smoky charcuterie, cinnamon, Szechuan pepper and the sweet smell of sous bois lingering in the background. This wine has grace and refinement yet it also shows restrained power. It becomes even more complex and tight with decanting and breathing for an hour or more. Dardel 2014 will be one of Paradise IV longest lived wines.

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.

Deep, dark red colour with glints of purple and black. The bouquet is sweetly super-ripe, very bunchy and almost jammy. A really pungent shiraz, with spice and vegetable nuances. The palate has firm but elegant tannins and very vibrant acidity. The vegetal notes - evidently from a solid whole-bunch component - permeate the wine. It does seem extremely ripe - it has that luscious, decadent fruit reminiscent of very ripe-year northern Rhône syrah. A sensational wine, but not quite ready. I'd cellar it. (Two days later, it was still drinking superbly. Sadly, the last vintage from this vineyard.)
