The Black Shiraz, Berton Vineyards, High eden, Australia 2006 £8.49


The Black Shiraz certainly lives up to its name with an inky black colour that is opaque and shows long legs due to the high alcohol content and body.
Abundant intense aromas of black cherries, dark chocolate, liquorice, white pepper and freshly sawn pine combine to give a sweet refreshing nose.
The palate shows flavours of plums, black cherries, figs and a slight hint of smoke and spice, combined with medium body and fairly high acidity to give a nice enjoyable finish that leaves your taste buds waiting for that next sip.
