Five Geese Old Vine Shiraz 'The Pippali' (2017)

750mL / McLaren Vale, SA / Australia

Category: Wine

Tasting Notes:

Vibrant deep red colour with purple hues, with lifted aromas of juicy black cherry, plum, and blueberry fruits, with a hint of violets and sweet cinnamon.

The palate is long and supple, a luscious palate full of plump black fruits with delicious ripe chewy tannins, leading into a silky smooth finish with hints dark chocolate and toasty oak.
