2006, Casella Wines, South Eastern Australia Yellow Tail The Reserve Shiraz

An intensely concentrated wine, [yellow tail] The Reserve Shiraz initially reveals aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, chocolate and mocha.  Delving deeper into this complex wine, cracked pepper and spice fragrance are apparent with sweet oak aromas always present.  The vanilla softness on the nose takes you into a full palate crammed with ripe fruits reminiscent of a basket of sweet summer berries.  Seamless and well structured tannins complete this full bodied red wine.  Drink now or with correct cellaring will mature for up to four years.
