Kangarilla Road Scarce Earth 2012
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaMcLaren Vale Scarce Earth is all about McLaren Vale's best Shiraz vineyards reaching full expression through single block wines. The wines go through three tasting panels to ensure they reflect a sense of place and express their true fruit characters. The vineyard block chosen is from the Eocene (34-56 million years ago) and is on Blanche Point Formation which is a marine fossil rich calcareous siltstone/limestone. Very spicy, anise, ginger, floral, plum, blackberry, chocolate and vanilla aromas with a hint of tobacco. Dry, fresh, juicy, suave palate with blackberry jam, savoury, poultry spice, vanilla, smoky bacon, chocolate and licorice flavours. Long with good elegance, concentrated fruit and very fine aromatics. This single vineyard, barrel selection should benefit from 3-7 years aging.Tasted: 23 December 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $60.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Icon Fine Wines and Spirits |
