2006 Reilly's Stolen Block Shiraz

Sourced from vines planted in the 1920’s this wine is open fermented and gently basket pressed before spending 2 years maturating in American Oak hogsheads.

Totally opaque inky black colour with deep dark red black hue. Aromas of liquorice, ripe blackberry and dark chocolate waft from the glass followed by some vanillin confectionary. Dense and super rich the palate packs a powerful punch of opulent liquorice, ripe blackberry liqueur and dark chocolate flavours over vanillin oak and spice. Luscious layers of fruit are interwoven with a plush sumptuous mouthfeel and velvety tannins. Outstanding depth and power with very long liquorice, luscious ripe blackberry, dark chocolate, subtle vanillin cedar and spice aftertaste.
A classic rich opulent Clare shiraz that will continue to evolve over the next 4-5 years (2013-2018).
