Gramps. 2009 Shiraz



General: I tasted 2006 at a recent Institute lunch and bought a couple of the current release to lay down. I thought I better check how they are so I can compare later...

Variety: Shiraz

Region/G.I.: Barossa

Alcohol: 14.5%

Bouquet: Predominately liquorice, then some plum and a hint of vanilla

Flavour: Medium to full body with a long finish. In the chewy category. The fruit flavours match that of the nose and are dense. Nice black pepper on the tongue and gentle finish. Very nice.

Points: 84

Notes: At $13.60 (c244 Kc) this is impressive. Will have to get more.
