Heathcote, Victoria, AustraliaCombining full, ripe fruit and freshness, this finessed Heathcote shiraz impresses with dark florals, black pepper and sun warmed blackberry. A lick of mint and dark cocoa threads through the ripe black plums, violets, thorns, dried scrubby herbs and sweeter cured meats on the medium bodied palate. Ripe tannins are finely grained, carrying through to a lingering peppery finish. Drinking well now (try with duck) but will hold and build for the next 5+ years.Tasted: 24 August 2015Tasted by: Prices:
Heathcote, Victoria, AustraliaVery gamey, smoky, savoury, tobacco, kirsch, black licorice, black berry jam, smoked pepper, vanilla and coffee aromas- fine aromatics. Rich, round, smooth, juicy palate with very fine tannins. Black berry jam, licorice, resin, smoky leather, meaty, tobacco, chocolate and vanilla with a roast red pepper note. Long finish with good complexity and light tannins to dissipate. Should improve with 3-7 years. A very fine effort.Tasted: 08 February 2015Tasted by: Prices:
