Dave Brookes - Halliday's Wine Companion
Barossa shiraz matured for 18 months in American and French oak. Ripe, plummy, red cherry and blackberry fruits with a blast of blueberry. Hints of licorice, violets, dark chocolate, mace, Cherry Ripe, choc-mint and earth. Fruit pure on the palate, with some blackberry joining in, and fine, grippy, sandy tannins providing support as it slowly trails off.
