Shiraz

Appearance

Bright crimson.

Bouquet

Charry earth characters on the nose, with spicy overtones and dark plums.

Medium bodied, with savoury red and dark fruit characters, leading to fine tannins and a charry oak background. Great breadth across the palate with a long and juicy finish.

Conclusion

Highly enjoyable now, but will improve over the next 5 to 8 years.
