Deep, dark red/purple: excellent colour. Melted chocolate aroma, very rich and concentrated on the palate as well as nose, with a touch of stridency from the acid. Generous sweet fruit, almost syrupy, and very oak-tannic, with an aftertaste of oak and alcohol vapour. Very tannic and grippy. Difficult to enjoy today, it needs years before opening

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 RWT Shiraz is a little closed showing intense and youthful primary aromas of cassis, kirsch, cedar, prunes and a touch of mulberries. Rich, muscular, packed with flavor, it is full-bodied, concentrated and finishes long with oak still poking out. Very youthful still, it will drink from 2014 to 2026+.
