Just a touch (2%) Viognier keeps this Shiraz shockingly elegant and giving of florality (sensual!), while the rich red fruit, black olive and green peppercorn add a touch of brawn and breadth to the slightly textured but surprisingly ripe tannins, leading into blueberries and (again) ripe but lifted finish. Well done, cool-climate Aussie wines!
