A 2014 Shiraz (94% Shiraz, 5% Malbec, 1% Viognier) from Margaret River, Australia. The nose was surprisingly muted for Australia, but opened up with air. Blue and purple fruit, green pepper, mint, vanilla, roses, violets, cardamom, baking spice, licorice, potting soil. The finish is minutes long with tingling pepper and mouth watering acidity.
