2016 Mountadam Vineyards Shiraz

Matured in French oak barriques. Totally opaque dark red black colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Aromas of liquorice and fennel intermix with dark plum, smoky cedar and pepper. Full bodied with a rich juicy feel the palate is awash with liquorice, black cherry and dark plum flavours which are underpinned by smoky cedar and fennel finishing with a burst of pepper. Excellent power and length. Sturdy fine grained tannins concluding long with a liquorice, black cherry, dark plum, smoky cedar, fennel and blackpepper infused aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.8%

Other Reviews….
The higher alcohol of this wine than that of its Five-Fifty sibling rounds the palate and delivers its message in a more considered fashion. There are layers of sombre black fruits, licorice and cracked pepper, tannins and oak following the trail set by the fruit. Drink by 2036.
