2013 Tellurian Tranter Shiraz

Matured in French oak for 18 months. Impenetrable inky black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Scents of ripe black cherries, liquorice and blackberries drift through the olfactory senses followed by smoky vanillin cedar, subtle fennel and blackpepper. Full, rich and powerful the mouth is saturated with luscious liquorice, blackberry and black cherry flavours which meld into vanillin oak, fennel and blackpepper characters. Structured rock like tannins take on a velvet like feel beneath the waves of opulent fruit. Long finish of liquorice, ripe blackberries, black cherries, smoky vanillin cedar, fennel and black pepper.
Cellar 6-8 years.
Alc. 14.8%
