Continuing on with Clare Valley week. Dark crimson, very youthful color belying its 17 years. Langtons Classification of Australian Wines puts Wendouree Shiraz in the top group with Grange HofG, Run Rig etc. Initial notes of ground coffee and liquorice. Palate of briary fruit, warm spices, minerals and touch of Iodine. These wines are made for the long haul - the brawny tannins only now starting to soften. Completely different to some Barossa valley fruit blockbusters.
