2015 Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz

Totally opaque midnight black dark red core with a bright purple red black tinged hue. Elevated aromatics of blackberries and liquorice are subtlety laced with dried clove, dried meats, vanillin cedar and blackpepper nuances. A Grampians Shiraz of great finesse this medium to full bodied red has an elegant supple mouthfeel as well as ample richness. The palate features a savoury profile of blackberries, spicy dark plums and liquorice subtlety infused with vanillin cedar, some meatiness and blackpepper. Vivid acidity with very refined tannins showing great polish and perfect integration with the fruit. Long blackberry, liquorice, blackpepper, vanillin cedar and subtle spicy dried meats aftertaste.
Cellar 6-8 years.
Alc 13.8%

Other Reviews….
Hand-picked, whole berries and whole bunches small batch open-fermented, larger concrete fermenters at the original winery also included for extended maceration on skins for 2 weeks, matured for 19 months in French oak (27% new). Both bouquet and medium-bodied palate offer a tapestry of black fruits, spices and black pepper, tannins woven through the succulent, juicy black fruits, French oak there or thereabouts, and fine lingering tannins. Drink by 2035.
