2019 Atze’s Corner Forgotten Hero Shiraz

Fruit was sourced from a vineyard planted in 1951 with maturation taking place in new French oak for 18 months. Dense inky black heart with a deep dark red black hue. Heady scents of liquorice and blackberry intoxicate the olfactory senses with some ripe black cherry, toasty vanillin oak, dark chocolate, scorched earth and spice notes also chiming in. Decadently rich and possessing a thick voluptuous texture, lush blackberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits are interwoven with prominent toasty vanillin oak. Earthy dark chocolate and spice elements lurk on the back half. Velvet smooth tannins finishing long, toasty and seductive.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 15%
