2009 Mount Langi Ghiran 'Langi' Shiraz

Density, precision and complexity are all hallmarks of the '09 Langi shiraz, which is made from treasured old vines originally planted on the sandy granite soils next to the winery. Complex, fragrant, spice-driven lift, plenty of florals and fine-ground spices, a light, peppery edge and deeply ripened plum, black-cherry and blackberry fruits. The palate has ripeness and depth, with precise, fine tannins carrying plum and dark-cherry fruits to a very long, juicy red-fruit finish. Full of promise.
