Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz 2012

Description

Gutsy shiraz from the cool climate Pyrenees region, this is a powerful expression of the variety but very much in the savoury rather than fruit-driven style. Blackberry, licorice, dried meats and the expected black pepper and tar on the finish. The deep purple-crimson colour semaphores serious intent, thoroughly intimidating when you realise this is the fourth tier of Dalwhinnie’s shiraz releases; the intimidation continues with a black fruits, tar and licorice bouquet of what is an unashamedly full-bodied shiraz needing to be left alone until ’20” 95 points James Halliday Wine Companion in 2014 The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Shiraz Country – Australia Region – Pyrenees, Victoria Vintage – 2012 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13%
