Clarendon Hills
Brookman Syrah
Clarendon, Fleurieu, South Australia, Australia
The 2010 ‘Brookman’ Shiraz is a sinfully good effort from this outstanding vintage in South Australia. Aromatically ripe and intense, the Shiraz unveils tar, mocha, blueberry compote and shades of Black Forest Cake that all meld together in the glass. The palate is chewy and plush, showing not only serious viscosity but a wonderful sense of tension that runs through the core of the wine. Ripe black and blue flavors combine with bright acidity to make this simply irresistible at the nine year mark. While a delight to savor now, the 2010 ‘Brookman’ Shiraz will cellar well for at least another eight to ten years.

Thought it was Malbec in a blind tasting. Woody, rustic notes but not very reminscent of Rhone-style Syrah. Nice body and smooth; easy drink.
