This Shiraz soars out of the glass like a phoenix rising above the fire. It holds nothing back. This juice is the personification of all or nothing. Bunches of black juicy plum, liquorice and morello cherry are thrown at your nose and the vanilla spiciness - by the grace of the American oak barrels the wine is aged in. Extraordinarily lush and rich, like a Black Forest cake- a thick coating of black fruits saturates the palate with a liqueur like concentration.
Think cassis on your vanilla ice cream. Voluptuous flavours, Velvet smooth tannins. Incredible power and opulence concluding with a long hedonistic finish.
I think we can safely say this wine is the ultimate definition of :
moreish
