What: 2010 Clonakilla Hilltops Shiraz, Hilltops Region, NSW
Purchased: Gift (many thanks, A!)
Food: Chorizo, prawn, chilli and porcini pizza
Comments: Possible ripper. Deep, dark colour. Sort of tight nose although has a bit of spice to it; kind of there but not. Enough of the preliminary garbage. This announces itself in the mouth. Dense, chewy tannins with a brambly, blackberry flavour with almost an deep, angry Christmas pudding thing. Bit of spice to add depth. Finish is interesting. It is sort of like there is an aria being sung and then it drops an octave straight away. That said, it continues to belt out solid tune, albeit slightly softer. Think I need to put some of this in the cellar to have a snooze for say 3 years and it will be outstanding, although quite enjoying it now. Good stuff.
