2012 Paul Osicka Heathcote Shiraz

The depth of colour is a shade lighter than we have come to expect from this wine over the years displaying a very deep dark red purple colour with black tinged edges and a dark purple hue. Youthful aromas of freshly crushed berries, liquorice, some inkiness, spicy toasty oak and subtle earth. Medium weight the palate is soft and round with moderately concentrated flavours of blackberries, liquorice, toasty vanillin oak and spice. Velvet smooth tannins. Medium to long aftertaste of liquorice, blackberries and spicy toasted vanillin oak. Another very elegant Paul Osicka that’s missing the weight and richness traditionally associated with this label.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
