Tasting
The S.R.S Shiraz is sourced from Frankland River in WA, and represents the pinnacle of Shiraz produced by Flametree.
The 2011 will be somewhat of a sleeper, the nose is currently closed with earthy blackcurrant the main element. The palate has great purity of fruit, with the weight of dark fruits giving a texturally enjoyable mouth feel. With time in the glass more complexity of dark berry fruits and gentle spices start to show themselves. The wine finishes with cedar oak and drying plum.
This wine should be set aside for a number of years, it has the structure and promise to reward time.
