What a deep, well-structured red this is! The Plantagenet shiraz embodies the structural and layered elegance that Great Southern shiraz is known for: a well balanced use of savoury, dusty oak, combined with tight acid structure, providing great length and character. Scented aromas of liquorice, plum and black cherries compliment the palate of subtle vanillin cedar, some meatiness, an earthiness and pepper, violets and a dense core of dark fruit. Solid tannin, with just a touch of grip, hold an aftertaste of ripe dark cherries, liquorice, smoky vanillin cedar, and peppery dried meats, which work perfectly with a Moroccan lamb stew or your favourite peppered steak.
