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.

Toolangi's Estate shiraz is grown at Dixon's Creek in the Yarra Valley, and made at the Shadowfax winery. This 2008 is an excellent example of it. Beautiful ripeness to this wine. Dark cherries, chocolate, plums and a briary herbaceousness. It makes for a delicious combination of flavours. There are some peanut oil characters here too and a hefty amount of grunty, grainy, fruity tannin. Lovely fruit here.
