It is long and sensual in the mouth

plum liqueur and violet serve as an elegant introduction to the suave and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that exude a lovely minerality that adds a sense of lift to the lingering and balanced finish

dark berry liqueur

The wood treatment isn’t shy though neither is it dominant on the very ripe yet fresh nose that exhibits notes of dark raspberry

Note that my rating assumes that the nose will clean up as the sulfur and wood are absorbed

Kalleske, Shiraz Eduard Old Vines Brut Zero It is long and sensualThe 2008 Edward Shiraz has a very deep garnet purple color and quite a lot of cedar on the nose over notes of coffee beans, kirsch, blackberry preserves, licorice and loam. Very crisp in the mouth with a medium firm level grainy tannins, this is an opulent, generously fleshed style with a long finish that still shows the oak. Still very tight and youthful, give this wine another 2 years for the oak to marry and drink it 2013 to 2019+. No known USA
