2008 Tokar Estate Shiraz
$25
Yarra Valley
Delicious delicious nose! Creamy strawberries and raspberries dominate. A spoonful of blueberries, and some persistence will reveal a rich earthy undertone (Composting leaves). It is barely there so don't let that put you off.
This Shiraz feels delicious!? Lots of spiced fruit. Big spicy mcspice. The creaminess is a great opener but the black pepper and cloves go crazy in the middle. It hangs around for a while and eventually softens to a modest raspberry tang.
Very big spicy Shiraz with a perfect Yarra Valley nose.
