Chris Ringland CR Shiraz 2008 - Barossa Valley, Australia

Total darkness in the glass. The nose (after 24 hours breathing) shows a sweet mint, cocoa, coconut and burnt oak. The palate is full steam ahead, no brakes with syrupy overripe black fruits, creamy acidity and earthy/dusty tannin. The texture, not surprisingly bordering on fortified wine thickness. Certainly a tipple for the lads and I don't think one could find such intensity of flavour for the price. A$25/bottle
