2009 Standish Borne Bollene Shiraz

The wine pours a spectacular totally impenetrable inky black colour with a deep black crimson hue. Hedonistic aromas of liquorice, blackberries and black cherries waft from the glass followed by some smoky cedar, dried meats and spice showing wonderful intensity. Possessing almost liqueur like power and richness waves of succulent fruit completely engulf the palate. Decadent opulently textured flavours of ripe blackberries and liquorice are followed by black cherries, smoky cedar, dried meats and spice. Velvet smooth tannins. Magnificent depth with an exceptionally long aftertaste of ripe blackberries, liquorice, smoky cedar and spice.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.
