2015 Craiglee Shiraz

Totally opaque black dark red colour with a deep dark red hue. A peppered nose of liquorice and black cherries meld into smoky cedar, dried meat and spicy scorched earth notes. Weighty than more recent vintages but sacrificing none of its cool climate charm, the medium to full bodied palate has generous liquorice and blackberry flavours infused with blackpepper over a toasty cedar, smoked meat, earth and spice background. Well integrated finely grained tannins have an underlying sturdiness. Excellent depth with a long peppery aftertaste.
Cellar 6-8 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews….
I’d have Craiglee on my list of Australia’s best Shiraz for sure, except they’re such quiet achievers, you might forget to add them.
Blackberry, boysenberry, spicy biscuits, a dash of pepper, white flowers. It’s medium-bodied, fresh mixed berries (raspberry in particular), distinctly minerally acidity gives it a water-coloured texure, then comes a bold smudge of fine graphite tannin to underline. Has a wonderful transparency, though it does have depth of fruit to go. Finish is well-defined, savoury/spicy, and very clean and long, that beautiful tannin still gripping as it goes. Yes.
