2008 Battely Syrah

The colour is looking somewhat advanced for a 2008 red and lacks the saturation one would normally expect to see in a top line Shiraz. Opaque, dark red colour with brick red hue. The nose displays aromas of plums, liquorice, dark cherries, cedar and spice. Full bodied, the palate possesses excellent concentration with flavours of liquorice, dark plums and dark chocolate with a spicy back palate. Fine grained tannins. Good length with long aftertaste of liquorice, ripe, dark plum and spice.
