Beyond Broke Road Heathcote Shiraz 2016
Heathcote, Victoria, AustraliaHeathcote’s dry central Victorian climate with cool nights and warm days, is home to this shiraz fruit. The maturation is in older French oak for a year to soften the tannins without adding any oak wood flavour influence. The nose is slightly reduced under screwcap so be sure to splash decant and get some air on it. On the palate, it is all plums and mulberry with a lick of chocolate. Firm, spicy, linear, and warm, it finishes fresh with a hint of minerality. A solid hamburger red.Tasted: 14 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $20.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
