Very dense and dry and natural

No reserve was made in this vintage

The palate is full-bodied

earth and a hint of humus

youthfully austere and lingering finale where a similar hint of bitter zest appears

Chris Ringland, Hoffman Shiraz Size:6x750ml Very dense and dry andReleased ahead of the 2009, reflecting the even, early vintage, the 2010 could not be more different. It's bursting with blackberry fruit on steroids joined by parma violet florals, followed by savoury layers of prune, liquorice and smoked meat. Dark, juicy and expressive, it has a very persistent salty, mineral finish supported by ripe, powerful tannins. It spent 62 months in 100% new French oak hogsheads.
