Forester Estate Home Block Shiraz

Deep red with red-purple hue. Concentrated and aromatic displaying lifted floral notes with dark fruits of plum and blackcurrant pastille. There is a heady mix of cocoa powder, gravox, gravel and bacon fat with hints of camphor, balanced toasty oak, spice and white chocolate. Rich and full with an almost creamy texture and very fine grain tannins. Once again there is a complex array of characters leading with bacon fat, earth, prune, wood spice and ripe dark fruit. There is a hint of camphor with a waft of incense smoke. A complex but approachable Shiraz that is drinking well upon release but will gain further complexity with age.
