Incredible black ink, blackberry, lead pencil and granite aromas. Hints of spearmint. Bark and mushroom, too. Deep and dark with superb depth and intensity.
...Port-y, concentrated and savory as all hell, with charred barrels, lamb fat, black pepper, salted licorice, pomegranate molasses and aniseed.
Plush heady notes of plum, currant and licorice open this powerful and polished Shiraz. There're also hefty helpings of savory, peppery spice. The palate is cinched by massive, drying, spicy tannins amid the silky fruit.
