Groom Shiraz 2009
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaBlackberry, spicy, appealing savoury, pepper and liquorice nose with vanilla, meaty, tobacco and balsamic aromas. Ripe, round and fresh without being acidic there are light, supple tannins under the smoky, peppery, savoury, vanilla, chocolate, meaty, blueberry jam and blackberry and liquorice flavours. A fine ripe Barossa style with excellent fruit and concentration. This needs two or more three years to develop in bottle but you can drink it now with a piece of lamb.Tasted: 20 February 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $40.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
