2016 Shiraz By Farr

Includes 4% Voignier. Totally opaque black dark red colour with a bright dark red hue. Pronounced plum and red liquorice aromas intermix with fennel, smoky cedar, a touch of meatiness and spicy herbs. Medium bodied with ample richness, ripe red fruits dance over a back drop of liquorice, spicy vanillin cedar, subtle fennel, traces of dried meats and spicy fresh herb infusions. Supple mouthfeel with very polished and refined tannins. Finishes elegant and savoury with a dark plum, ripe cherry, red liquorice, smoky cedar, fennel, meaty dried herb and spice aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews….
From the original vineyard planted '94, open-fermented with 2-4% viognier, 20% whole bunches, matured for 18 months in French oak (20% new). Complex and rich? Of course, it's Farr. Skilfully sculptured? Ditto. The key to this compelling shiraz is its seismic power and endless length.
Drink by 2046.
