Clarendon Hills 2008 Piggot Range Syrah (Clarendon)

Country: Australia / Piggot Range
Variety: Syrah South Australia
Winery: Clarendon Hills / Clarendon

This is a potent, rich Shiraz. It’s full bodied and thickly textured, with aromas and flavors of mocha, asphalt and plum. The overall impression is somewhat chunky and inelegant but undeniably concentrated. Give it five years or so to smooth out some of the rough edges.
