2005 Clarendon Hills Moritz Vineyard Syrah

Totally opaque black crimson colour with black crimson hue. Lifted nose of truffle, followed by spice, vanilla, plum and dark chocolate. The palate has excellent weight and mouthfeel – with truffle, dark chocolate and liquorice being quite pronounced. Fine grained tannins, excellent balance. Very long aftertaste of spice, black pepper and plum.
Cellar 5-8 years (2012-2015)
Alc/Vol: 14%

Other Reviews…….
A spectacular effort, the 2005 Syrah Moritz exhibits aromas and flavors of acacia flowers, blackberry and blueberry liqueur, full body, a velvety texture, a big, exotic, flamboyant personality, and a spectacular finish. It should drink well young and easily last for 20 years or more.
93-95 points
Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate

The 2005 Syrah Moritz Vineyard was sourced from “only” 30-year-old vines. It offers floral notes, cassis, bacon, smoked meat, and blueberry compote. Opulent and sweet with gobs of flavor, it should have a 20 year lifespan.
