2016StandishLamellaShiraz

Sans The colour saturation of this wine is amazing. Impenetrable inky black core with an equally deep dark purple black hue. Potent aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries and liquorice are complimented by some dried clove and smoked meat nuances with vanillin cedar and blackpepper notes ensuing. Boasting outstanding richness and power as well as inky like concentration the palate is overwhelmed with luscious blackberry, black cherry, liquorice and black plum flavours. Underpinning the fruit is vanillin cedar, dried meats, smoky clove and blackpepper. Rugged, firmly built tannins impart some real grip to the finish and give an inky like feel to the opulent fruit. Statuesque in structure this muscular Barossa Shiraz shows great definition and is built for the long haul. Very long aftertaste of blackberries, liquorice, black cherries, subtle dried clove infusions, smoked meats, vanillin cedar, earth and blackpepper.Cellar 10-15 years.Alc. 14.5%
