Allandale. 2009 Matthew Shiraz



General: I'm about to get my next case from the wine club so thought I best try this now

Variety: Shiraz

Region/G.I.: Hunter Valley, Hunter

Alcohol: 13.5%

Bouquet: Plum and liquorice in equal measure. Some nice vanilla there as well.

Flavour: Very ligh bodied (like a Pinot) - the flavour profile is gentle and complex. This is very savoury - dry herbs, think oregano, thyme with some white pepper. Medium length and no tannin. Interesting

Points: 84

Notes: Not necessarily my preferred style of Shiraz but it is enjoyable
