Cracking Black Shiraz 2010

Meaty, herbal, slightly reductive notes but red fruits build in the perfume. In the mouth, slender and svelte, almost elegant with slippery tannins, medium weight, density though but an easy flow. Anise spice chimes in. Drives long and pure with dark fruit and faint sweet oak, has frisky energy then finishes with rigidity. Stop’s short. Great drinking anyway with subtle complexity and charm. Bargain.

Crimson-purple; an enticing bouquet full of fruit and hints of spice and oak draws you into a juicy, textured palate with dark plum, blackberry, licorice and bitter chocolate all having their say on the long palate, the extract well managed.
