Tintara 2009 Shiraz

Variety: Shiraz
Region/G.I.: Fleurieu, McLaren Vale
Vintage: 2009
Closure: Screwcap
Alcohol: 14.0%
Colour: Dark purple-brown
Bouquet: Soft liquorice, dark chocolate, plum conserve, vanilla
Flavour: Densely packed flavours with fruit at the fore strongly supported by the dark chocolate and vanillan elements. A dip from this richness to a soft, tingling tannin which accentuates the finish.
Points: 87 (3+7.5+11.5+7+8+50)
Notes:  While not a huge Shiraz fan myself, this one is particularly well done. About $20~360Kc bought a couple of years ago. An excellent wine for a Sunday night family dinner
