2013 Tait Basket Pressed Shiraz

Impenetrable inky black core with a deep dark red black hue. Heady scents of aniseed, ripe black cherries and toasty vanillin oak evolve from the glass with ensuing mocha and spice notes. The decadently rich, high octane palate is awash with aniseed, ripe black cherry and blackberry flavours infused with toasty vanillin oak. Spicy peppered finish. Despite the lofty alcohol there’s good balance with just a trace of heat evident. Velvety yet structural tannins. Long powerful aftertaste of aniseed, black cherries, toasty vanillin oak and spicy pepper.
Cellar 4-5 years.
Alc 15.9%
