    2001 Clarendon Hills "Piggott Range" Syrah
  CLARENDON
 
 
 
       
 
SoldOut November Release Case Size: 12/750ml Shiraz
   
  Tasting Notes

Saturated bright, dark ruby to the rim. Deep, brooding aromas of blackberry, violet, pepper and eucalyptus. Lush, deep, chewy and extremely primary, with a highly concentrated flavor of crushed raw blackberry. Densely packed, impressively rich syrah, finishing with powerful but ripe tannins. A bit like a junior version of this producer's Astralis. Next to a wine like this, many of Australia's extremely late-harvested shiraz bottlings come off as cooked, flabby and distinctly tiring to drink.
