Chapel Hill McLaren Vale Shiraz 2009
McLaren Vale Shiraz: pure and simply. Chocolate, blueberry and raspberry, there's oak - but it's deftly handled rather than dominating - some depth to the aromatic profile too. For some reason, it also transported me to holidays in Portugal as a teenager, with slight hints of almond and orange oil.
Entry shows a wine incredibly smooth, somehow belying the depth of aroma. Medium bodied, balanced, i did feel the palate somewhat truncated between entry and the finish. Minor quibble.
A smooth finish, fine grained, chalky tannin. Good structure, I think it will only improve over 5-8 years. Good - 90+
