Rocland Chocolate Box Shiraz 2010
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaTypically Barossa on the nose showing blackberry jam, blueberry and liquorice with 'chocolate', vanilla and smoky, rubber aromas. Ripe smooth and dense on the palate with more coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, cedar and blackberry jam flecked with resin, leafy tobacco and prune flavours. Tart and warm in the finish but with plenty of fruit and oak that will appeal to lovers of this old style Oz red. Grilled lamb is the ticket here.Tasted: 27 March 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
