2016 Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz

Full-bodied. Substantial.

Framboise des bois (raspberry) with pips/vinegar – coulis or apothecary?

Meat? Closest association noted – raw/rare venison. Not to deny the welcomed presence of chocolate torte and mocha flavours.

A "cloaked" continuum of tannins that linger and reverberate with the discipline of a vinous pendulum.

Finishes intact with a flourish of dusty graphite (input of oak?) and balanced acidity.

The full-bodied 2016 Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz is a blend of fruit from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Upper Adelaide and Wrattonbully.

It's a warm-climate, rich, plush Shiraz, with a velvety mouthfeel and lingering savory notes on the finish.
