2017 Balgownie Estate Bendigo Shiraz

Totally opaque black dark red colour with a deep dark red hue. Elevated aromas of blackberry and liquorice have a strong toasty vanillin oak overlay followed by dried herb and blackpepper notes. Ripe and lush, the palate is boldly flavoured with rich blackberry and liquorice fruits which run into some prominent toasty vanillin oak, dried herb and spicy pepper characters. Opulent mouthfeel with chewy tannins and a long aftertaste that has a lingering charry vanillin oak component to it.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%
