Savaterre Shiraz 2012 (6 Bottles) Beechworth, Victoria

Stinky, smoky, stalky, plush with fruit and oak, lengthy. Has a sinewy character to the tannin but it wraps like a genome through the wine, twisting both flavour and dry control as it motors through. Exotic aromas of smoked meats, dried red rose, allspice, clove, dark plum, dark cherry ,blackberry, mulberry, mandarin, violets, sandlewood, bay and funky undergrowth.
