2006 Keyneton Estate Euphonium

(56% shiraz, 27% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cabernet franc and 8% merlot) Vivid ruby color. Powerfully scented bouquet of blackberry, licorice, rose oil, toasty oak and Indian spices. Round, fleshy and sweet, offering powerful cherry and blackcurrant flavors and a slow-mounting spicy quality. Tannins build through the finish, which echoes the sweet dark berry and spice notes. Give this some air or at least four more years in the cellar.
