2016 Maxwell Eocene Ancient Earth Shiraz

Dense inky black core with a deep dark red black hue. Pronounced blackberry and liquorice top notes have an earthy leather like overlay with some black olive, vanillin cedar and pepper also chiming in. Rich and silky in its feel the palate is doused with blackberry and liquorice fruits. Elements of earthy leather, vanillin cedar and spicy pepper lie underneath. Polished yet chewy tannins coinciding with a long expansive aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 14.5%
