Quarisa, Mrs Q, Shiraz
Deep, inky ruby-black, slightly lighter on the rim.
The nose is full and fragranced, aromas of eucalyptus, mint overlay spiced plums, cherry pie and tobacco.
Full-bodied, concentrated flavours of plums, cherry pie in the lead, entwined with cedar, black pepper, eucalyptus and mint linger to a long, sustained finish.
The fruit has balanced ripeness and concentration; fine-grained tannin extraction broadens the palate and very mouth-filling.
Brilliant acidity balanced the richness of concentration.
Food pairings: beef , lamb, poultry.
