Deep Ruby in colour. Rich and earthy - red and black fruits, sweet plum, a touch of black pepper and an astringent note which persisted. If you like rich, spicy Heathcote Shiraz this will not disappoint. Enough internal fortitude to see this cellar to the late 2020s. Tasted my last bottle 30 weeks later on 5th August with consistent notes. Also a note of dusty chocolate. Medium to full bodied rather than the full bodied full throttle Shiraz you normally get from Heathcote. — 3 years ago
