Dalwhinnie Eagle Series Shiraz 2015 (JH 97)

James Halliday 97 points.

“Deep purple-crimson, not just any eagle, but one with the grace and power of the wedgetail eagle, Australia’s foremost avian symbol (emus don’t fly). Juicy blackberry, anise and a mix of spice and pepper are wonderfully fresh and mouthwatering thanks to the controlled alcohol and mouthwatering acidity.” 97 Points.

WINERY NOTES:
colour
Very dark purple-black, clear and shiny.

aroma
The initial impression is of dark small berries freshly picked from the vine. Delve deeper and you get sandalwood, vanilla pod and black peppercorns.

palate
The wine is medium-bodied but in saying that it has an incredible vinosity which has to be experienced to realise just how powerful this wine really is. The structure and flavours are monumental with a finish that goes on and on. One of the greatest Eagle’s made to date.
