Medium garnet-purple coloured, the 2012 Alte Reben Shiraz offers fragrant notes of lavender, cinnamon stick, cloves, and sandalwood over a core of crushed blueberries, warm blackberries, and peppered beef. Medium-bodied and wonderfully elegant, the palate reveals intense blackberry and spice flavours supported by very fine-grained tannins and well-balanced freshness It finishes long and multilayered.
