Jim Barry Single Vinyard Shiraz Claire Valley

Deep intense cherry red color with colored tears. Rather ethereal nose reminiscent of menthol and eucalyptus, complemented by vanilla, cassis and blackberry. The taste really does set in, peppery too with tannins of fondant chocolate and the fruitiness of blue plum and stewed dark fruit. The fine acidity of this wine forms a nice pairing with tantalizing spiciness all the way to the long, drawn-out finale.
