2014 Amelia Park Shiraz

Aged in French oak for 12 months. Totally opaque black dark purple colour with a deep dark purple hue. Nosing offers up aromas of ripe blackberries and liquorice which are overlaid by blackpepper and dried meats with spicy cedar end notes. Rich blackberry and liquorice flavours fill the palate within a meaty mouthfeel followed by lightly toasted vanillin cedar and spicy blackpepper. Slightly chewy tannins with a long spicy blackberry, liquorice, dried meats, vanillin cedar and blackpepper aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc 14.5%

Other Reviews….
Matured for 12 months in French oak, it has a scented allspice and cherry ripe bouquet, moving smartly to blackcurrant, blackberry and licorice on the medium to full-bodied palate; it's fruit-driven, but there's still room for a wave from the oak, and a salute from the tannins. Drink by 2029.
