This Brash Higgins stuff's pretty delicious. Different definitely. Savoury, deep fruited wines. A touch of VA coming through in this Shiraz, but it only adds complexity here. Fruit cake, plum, indian spices, meat, earth.
Note: Vinification that would draw out some frowns. Freaking 6 months on skin, letting some flor form on the surface post-ferment. I'm sure it's gnarly on it's way to the finish product, but it didn't turn out too bad. Probably a good dose of sulphur to clean it up? Or some skimming off the surface wine. Nevertheless, I liked it.
