Tuesday, July 14, 2015 - Appearance: Bright and clear, it has deep ruby color, with garnet rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of black fruit of blackberry, dark cherries and bilberry, sweet spice of clove, oak notes of vanilla and cedar, dairy notes of cream, kernel notes of chocolate and mocha, animal notes of meat. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe and velvety texture, showing high alcohol and full body. It has medium (+) flavors of black fruit such as blackberry, dark cherries and bilberry, oak notes of vanilla and cedar, sweet spice of nutmeg, dairy notes of cream. The wine has a long finish.
Conclusion: Very good Australia Shiraz depicting how best the varietal can taste, the wine has intense nose showing high complexity, with the palate being powerful yet surprisingly elegant, with a good balance on the fruit and tannin texture to make the high alcohol level not particularly awkward. Finishing with an exceptional length, the wine is ready to drink now though can benefit from further ageing of another 5-7 years.
