Flaxman Paladin Shiraz 2011

'Paladin' meaning hero or supporter and so the wine is so named to reflect the status of Shiraz in the region.

Juicy, gummy, berry-driven aroma. In part elegant, in part playful, youthful. Fresh and fruity with a little wilder undertone.

Juicy driven entry, edged with a little spice. There's also the presence of a harder, stalky edge to the wine. Drying tannin to finish. All up, it's easy going and slurp-able - uncomplicated. 89 - Good
