JM 1ST APPROACH

Pirathon Shiraz is dark red-black in colour. The perfumed bouquet is lifted with rich aromas of fruit cake, roses, blackcurrant, chocolate, nutmeg spice and wild berry. The serious and complex palate is mouthfilling with generous dark fruit and balanced oak barrel characters. This full-bodied wine is multi-dimensional with a solid structure and fine integrated tannins. A very persistent finish completes a powerful and well-balanced wine. Pirathon is a paramount expression of north-western Barossa Shiraz that will reward time in the cellar.

This wine is a black black red in color with a tight nose full of concentrated aromas of plums, dark fruits, blackberries, spices and licorice. This is a serious wine, dense, rich, ripe, almost chunky with slabs of fruits, a basket of berries style, with a touch of earth and spice, and some regional dark chocolate. The palate is luscious, chock full of fruit, all black and red berries, plums, spice and some peppery edges, with a lovely velvety mouthfeel, and a full mid palate. It has great length, and finishes with ripe tannins. It has depth, yet it has balance and structure. Great effort, terrific wine. The Auswine panel
