Note di degustazione
The first vintage to be stoppered with a screwcap (half was still stoppered with a cork but this bottle was screwcapped) and the first with a grey label. A cooler year. Very deep, glowing, polished garnet – extremely concentrated. Very focused. Sweet liquorice nose. Beautiful silky texture and great balance. Real juiciness and a little bit of leather. Dry but not drying finish. Quite captivating. Firm impression of dry spices but masses of sleek fruit too. Lots of potential. (JR)

The 2010 Attunga 1865 Shiraz has moved into a meaty, savory, black-olive-laden phase of its development. It's full-bodied and velvety, perhaps a bit coarse in feel, adding dark-chocolate notes on the still-firm finish. While there's structure for additional cellaring, I'd prefer to drink it over the next few years.
Inky purple. An exotic bouquet presents black and blue fruit preserves, vanilla, licorice and potpourri. Sweet, deeply pitched blueberry and cherry-vanilla flavors stain the palate and gain spiciness with aeration. Shows superb energy and power on the finish, with lingering touches of smoke, cracked pepper and floral pastille. This sweet, seamless wine should be left to rest for at least another five to seven years and probably much longer.
Very deep purple-black in color and redolent of creme de cassis, plum pudding, dark chocolate and dried mulberries with nuances of licorice, espresso and cedar, the full-bodied 2010 Attunga 1865 Shiraz is generously fruited with layers of black fruit plus a myriad of savory and spice flavors that are supported by firm, very finely grained tannins and lively acid. It finishes long with lingering herb and spice accents. Drink it now to 2024+. Apr 2014, www.robertparker.com
