2009 Taltarni Reserve Shiraz Cabernet, Pyrenees

Rich red brick in colour with beautiful aromatics of blueberry and blackcurrent, this wine is interestingly more Cabernet dominant in style than Shiraz which is contrary to its blend percentages A supple and velvety palate presents itself with flavours of earthy tones and forest floor fruits which are enriched by hints of mint and bitter chocolate. Drink now or age for decades to come.

Brooding, robust red with bristling muscles of fruit, oak and tannin. There isn't a lot to tuck into in terms of flesh, but as a seven year old it still seems both young and like it's building towards something.
