2012 The Old Faithful Top of the Hill Shiraz

Outstanding depth of colour with an inky black heart and a very deep dark red black tinged hue. Intense aromas of liquorice, ripe blackberries and black cherries dominate over subtle black olive characters, toasty cedar and pepper. Full bodied with a rich, firmly structured palate liquorice and black cherry flavours swamp the mouth over some blackberry, smoky cedar, dried meat and pepper characters. Chewy opulent mouthfeel with firm yet fine grained tannins. Long aftertaste of black cherries, liquorice, smoky cedar, meat characters and pepper.
Cellar 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.5%
