2013 Brokenwood Shiraz 7 Acre

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Saturday, January 17, 2015 - Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 12.5%, A$75} Spices, soft red fruit. Less about fruit than structure; lots of acid, medium/high dusty tannins. The red fruit turns savoury and earthy on the palate. Medium-bodied. Medium/long finish. Good for 15 years to develop some real dimension. Seemed easily the most acidic of the five shirazes I tried at Brokenwood. Spends just 9 months in oak; so it is fruit-driven in the true sense. A block selection from the graveyard vineyard I believe.
