Hartenberg 2008 The Stork Shiraz (Stellenbosch)

Country: South Africa / The Stork
Variety: Shiraz Stellenbosch
Winery: Hartenberg /

A big and bold Shiraz, dark fruit aromas and flavors of fig, black cherry and plum abound. Glimmers of sweet spice and smoke unfold softly, showing the promise of additional complexities and nuance that should continue to develop with time. Firmly structured tannins help to frame the lush, ripe palate, and prodive a gripping texture to the long close. Try after 2015 and beyond.
