highlights and lightly charred French
oak.
Palate:
Full bodied and velvety smooth with concentrated black plum fruit, nutty oak, coffee character and a touch of earth and spice. The fine grippy tannins providing wonderful balance and length. An aged wine whose raw powerful youth has given way to a more restrained and elegant maturity. The Brothers Shiraz 2017 Tasting Note
