2008 Lily's Garden Shiraz

Inky purple. Crushed blackberry, licorice, rose and violet on the pure, primary nose. Dense and sweet, with a strong Indian spice character and lovely freshness to the deep flavors of dark berries and licorice. Gentle acidity and supple, building tannins give this lush wine impressive shapeliness. Finishes on a sweet note, with very good persistence.
