Clarendon Hills 2007 Hickinbotham Syrah (Clarendon)

Country: Australia / Hickinbotham
Variety: Syrah South Australia
Winery: Clarendon Hills / Clarendon

The 2007 Hickinbotham comes across as tight and in need of additional cellaring. Right now, it’s showing only some subtle oak and spice framing dark fruit and earthy, savory notes. With its apparent richness and depth, give it until 2015 or so to come around, then drink it over the next 10 years.
