2013 Mount Avoca Malakoff Shiraz

Totally opaque black dark red colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced aromas of liquorice, choc mint and blackberries are followed by vanillin oak and light spice. Medium bodied, fleshy liquorice and choc mint flavours dominate the front palate over vanillin oak and subtle spicy mocha. Velvet smooth tannins. Aftertaste of liquorice, choc mint, vanillin oak and spicy mocha.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc 13.5%

Other Reviews….
From the distinguished eponymous vineyard, it has greater depth than the Estate Shiraz, the fruit focus on black and purple berries, the tannins likewise more sturdy. Approachable now, but deserves more time. Drink by 2033.
