Tasting notes
Deep garnet with some purple, the 2008 RWT Shiraz is a little closed and shows dried fruits, blueberry preserves, cola, kirsch, potpourri and allspice. Medium to full-bodied and expressive, it has nice and firm chewy tannins and good length.

83% new oak. Very deep, intense crimson. Super-spicy sweet nose. Round and fully resolved aromatically. Seems more evolved than the St Henri 2008 on the nose. Lightly dusty finish. Very sweet but lacks just a little freshness. (JR)
Deep violet. Complex bouquet of red and dark berries is complemented by smoky minerals, potpourri, anise and black pepper. Rich but focused on the palate, offering sweet black raspberry and cassis flavors, a velvety texture and strong mineral snap. This elegant,precise wine boasts impressive finishing sweetness. For such a rich wine, this is very graceful and surprisingly approachable, although it's built to age.
