The 2006 RWT Shiraz was aged for 14 months in 70% new French oak hogsheads. The winery describes its style as opulent and fleshy compared to Grange's muscular and assertive personality. Opaque purple in color, it offers aromas of Asian spices, beef juice, toast, blueberry, and licorice. Rich, fleshy, and round, it has plenty of underlying tannin, impeccable balance, and a long, pure finish. It will deliver prime drinking from 2014 to 2030.
Massive port-like colour. Firm. French, dry and sophisticated, sleek and polished. Salon stuff - really quite European. SO different from most Barossa Shirazes! So much more polished in texture, with leather notes
