Magpie Estate The Black Sock Mourvedre, Barossa Valley, Australia

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3816

2008 Black Sock Mourvedre is 85% Mourvedre with 15% Shiraz added. Pale to medium garnet in color, it displays intense blackberry and mulberry aromas with some warm plum, earth and whiff of spice box. Full and dense in the mouth, the rich flesh is well supported with medium to firm grainy tannins and high acidity, finishing long. Drinking well now, it should continue to cellar to 2016+. Magpie Estate is a joint venture between the talented Barossa based produced Rolf Binder and UK wine merchant Noel Young. Coming through some difficult vintages, the line-up here remains solid with some very good to excellent wines to recommend. Note that no 2007 or 2008 Gomersal Grenache or Malcolm Shiraz were produced though a sneak-preview of barrel samples of the 2009 vintage of these wines promises something special to come.Importer: Total Beverage Solutions, Mount Pleasant, SC
