Kilikanoon 2009 Green’s Vineyard Shiraz (Barossa Valley)

Country: Australia / South Australia
Variety: Shiraz
Winery: Kilikanoon / Green’s Vineyard

This wine displays ample concentration in its inky color and potent aromas of dark berry fruit. There’s a hint of raisining as well. In the mouth, it’s mouthfilling but lacks a bit of texture; the flavors include dark plums, vanilla and hints of dried fruits, like figs and dates. With a finish that calls to mind chocolate fudge (minus the sugar), opt for drinking this wine over the relatively near term, now to 2020.
