Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2009 Shiraz gives notes of ripe blackberries, dried mulberries, chocolate and spice box with suggestions of eucalypt, anise and vanilla. Full bodied and generously fruited in the mouth, it gives a low to medium level of soft tannins, crisp acid and a long finish. Drinking nicely now, it should keep to 2019.
