Monday, March 5, 2012 - NobleRottersSydney - Current Release Reds (Alio's, Surry Hills): [14.5%, screwcap, A$27] {DavidC} Very young, very big. Strawberry jam aromas. Has this fermented yet? Smells of charcoal, vanilla, chocolate. Modern Barossa shiraz from central casting. Full-bodied with plush red fruits and vanilla oak flavouring, but only soft dusty tannins and not much acid to support it. Intense; dry I suppose, although there’s so much sweetness to the flavours here I did wonder about residual sugar. Still only medium-length finish. A lavish party wine to be drunk within three years.
