2015 Ministry of Clouds Shiraz

Includes 20% whole bunch with maturation taking place in old French oak barriques for 11 months.
Totally opaque inky black core with a dark crimson black hue. Nosing delivers a perfumed sniff of liquorice and blackberries infused with violets followed by dark plum, vanillin cedar and some spearmint. Medium to full bodied with abundant richness yet a refined sleekly textured mouthfeel the palate possesses flavours of liquorice, dark chocolate and blackberries intermixed with some earthy dried meat characters and vanillin oak. Slightly dryish on the finish with very fine grained verging on velvet like tannins. Aftertaste of dark chocolate, blackberries, subtle liquorice, earth and vanillin cedar.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc 14.1%
