CorioleLloyd Reserve Shiraz 2007
About this product
Sourced from a vineyard planted in 1919 by Geoffrey Kay, the Lloyd Reserve Shiraz proudly sits in the 'Excellent' classification by Langton's. Always a traditional, robust style McLaren Vale Shiraz, the 2007 Lloyd comes from a vintage amidst the long drought throughout southern Australia. The old vines handle these difficult conditions exceptionally well, the proof of which can be seen in the bottle. Swathes of blueberry and plum fruit with robust, yet in balance tannins. Having been lovingly nurtured in our climate controlled cellars, this wine is still a relative baby and will reward any over the next 10 years.

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.

Impenetrable colour; deep, dark and inky displaying mocha and an inordinate amount of black fruit; thickly textured and a little tarry, the tannins are plentiful and very fine; monumental indeed, but not the least bit heavy.
