Kalleske 2007 Moppa Springs Shiraz Jan 09
Copyright © Ric Einstein 2009
The wine has a small amount of Viognier and Petit Verdot; has a RRP of $29 and
is sealed under screwcap. The bouquet shows loads of deep-seated fruit, earthy
notes below; five spice, apricot, dark plum, and coffee. Dusty tannins combine
with fresh acid and distinct fruit to form an ample-weight wine that is solid,
firm and has a well developed complexity. The flavour profile is intensely black
on the uptake with blackberry, five spice, aniseed, plum, chocolate and
noticeable eucalyptus on the reasonable length and persistence finish. It has
loads of fruit flavour but is not their best effort in this price bracket. Rated
as Recommended with ** for value.
