Note di degustazione
Medium to deep garnet/purple, the 2012 Astralis (Shiraz) starts off with complex, meaty and earthy aromas wafting around a core of blackberry preserves, preserved plums, and mulberries with hints of licorice, Chinese five spice and potpourri. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the multi-layered flavors have very spicy accents and are framed by ripe, grainy tannins. It has a very long and elegant finish with hints of exotic spices.

Impressive, complex structure with incredible saturation. Black cherry, blood plum and blackberry fruits are met with graphite, dark chocolate and a wide array of spices. A huge arc of velvety tannins casts concentrated dark plum and black cherry flavors. Best from 2020 through to 2035 and beyond. Jul 2017, www.jamessuckling.com
