Arabella Shiraz Tasting Notes by Wine Expert, David Andrews, DipWSET
One sniff and you know this'll be a meaty wine. I was hit with a good mixture of dark fruits, black cherry, liquorice and violet. These carry through well onto the palate in great balance. It of course wouldn't be Shiraz (good Shiraz that is) without its peppery backbone. The finish culminates in an intense fruit crescendo with vanilla as it peters out.
