2015 Sidewood Shiraz

Matured for 16 months in French oak. Opaque dark red black colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Top notes of blackpepper and black olives overlay black cherries, traces of aniseed, smoky cedar and spicy scorched earth. Medium to full bodied rich black cherry and liquorice flavours are infused with blackpeppers followed by some black olive, smoky cedar and spice. Ripe, slightly chewy tannins. Aftertaste of peppered black cherries, liquorice, earthy dried meats, black olives and smoky cedar.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews…
Has a highly fragrant bouquet, verging on outright perfume; spicy notes are part climate, part whole bunch-derived, and the multi-clone backdrop provides a beautifully poised palate. Very good value.
Drink by 2030.
