Warrabilla 2005 Parolas Shiraz July 06

The longer this wine remained open the better it became. Spicy vanillin oak, dark chocolate and blackberry are evident on the bouquet. Smooth, tight, supple tannins and well-judged acid combine with pure, deep, beautifully ripe, strong fruit that delivers blackberry, spicy oak, black pepper, 85% Lindt dark chocolate, and aniseed flavours that finish long and persistent. The complexity is well developed and the construction harmonious. A definite step up in quality over the reserve Shiraz, it is in excellent example of the full-bodied in your face Rutherglen Shiraz and is rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value.
