2005 Bird in Hand Shiraz

An impressive red. Opaque black, crimson colour with black, purple hue, showing excellent cling to the walls of the glass. Top notes of vanilla followed by blackberry, spice and plum. The palate is verging towards that special McLaren Vale ‘joosy’ character, delivering ripe flavours of blackberry, vanilla and plum. Fine grained tannins. Excellent balance. Aftertaste of blackberry, plum and spice.
