2016 First Drop Mother´s Milk Barossa Valley Shiraz

Sweet fruit galore but fresh and vibrant with it. First sip and it's hard not to smile. Kirsch, blackberries, an underlying peppercorn character, and very little sign of oak. It's as simple as it is effective. It has depth but mostly it's about dark Barossa shiraz fruit flavour, in all its succulent glory.

Aromas of tar and spice with plenty of fruit follow through to a medium to full body, with juicy fruit and a long and flavorful finish. This is balanced and fine-grained. Drink now. Screw cap.

Inky black-cherry colour. Minty and spiced dark fruit soars from the glass. Spicy and dark-fruited on the palate, unexpectedly fluid across the palate - the tannins are there but they slide easily. Dry but juicy finish. Long and lots of fun.

Deep red/purple colour with a spicy aroma and flavour, some walnutty influences and a medium-bodied, intense and finely-honed palate. It finishes with a little firmness from tannin and warmth from alcohol. Nicely balanced, though. A stylish wine, already drinking well and with future potential. A very tasty glass of shiraz. At this price, it's great value.

Mørke varme bær i luften. En koncentreret intens shiraz fra Barossa. Selvom den er kraftig er den velbalanceret med en flot syre. Pæn afslutning. En vin med masser at byde på.
