Hugh Hamilton Black Ops Shiraz Saperavi

RMCNEES note on point. Hot on entry and only slightly less hot on finish even on day 2 but complexity (including hints of nutmeg and cinnamon) and fruit allow it to take the alcohol in stride.

Dark inky purple colored, full bodied, muscular, rich blackberry and black plum fruits are accented with herbal notes of black olive, bell pepper, black pepper and hints of spice and mint with a full firm lingering finish. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2022/05/hugh-hamilton-black-sheep-shiraz.html

Rich and deep colour inky purpled. Deep and tightly woven nose: Leather, cassis, Licorice, Rhubarb. Mélange of fruits and berries with the obvious blueberry and blue fruits of an McLaren Vale Shiraz. Cassis and plums, spiced cedar, ripe tannins deliver a tight structure and length.

Love it!
