This a very unique Shiraz. One of the extreme examples of what Aussie Shiraz can be. The nose is so distinctive. I can not describe it adequately but lots of black fruits with almost cherry cola or molasses and pencil lead or mineral notes. (I said alsmot smell like blood but Lady SEA disagrees.) The palate is also unique with almost syrupy texture with tons of black fruits, smoke, meat juice with peppery finish and nice integrated tannin. Nice long finish. Somebody may think this wine bit like a cough syrup but in a very nice way (whatever that means). We are sure some love this wine and some hate it. We like it. Here is what RP says;
"The 2004 Shiraz Underhill may be the finest example of this cuvee Yarra Yering has yet produced. Its inky/purple color is accompanied by a gorgeous nose of creme de cassis, acacia flowers, white pepper, and steely, earthy characteristics. Medium to full body, awesome concentration and richness, and a delicate, ethereal lightness suggest this stunning Shiraz can be drunk now and over the next 12-15+ years. It is a singular expression of Shiraz from the Yarra Valley."
