2008 Art Series Shiraz

Winemaker's Tasting Notes

The wine exhibits a lovely garnet colour in the glass. A very lifted bouquet opens with an array of bright raspberry and mulberry aromas, moving onto intense notes of dark plum and exotic spices. The overall impression is of elegance and finesse.

The anticipation built by the bouquet is most ably delivered by the deliciously elegant palate. Poached blood plum, raspberry and blackberry flavours are given length and depth by the subtle vanillan notes of classy French oak. The mouth feel is silky, supple and very long. This is a most elegant Shiraz from a fine vintage in Margaret River, and shows all the hallmarks of being a great wine to match with an array of similarly elegant food.

Comments

"Light, bright crimson; the fragrant bouquet of spicy red fruits is closely tracked on the light-to medium-bodied palate that is all about finesse, line and length, the red cherry fruit with spicy nuances, the oak reserved. Screwcap. 13.5% alc. Rating 94 To 2016"
