finishing incredibly long and packed to the gills with flavor

(from magnum format)

The very rich and generously proportioned middle weight flavors possess plenty of sappy dry extract before terminating in a powerful and borderline tannic bitter lemon-inflected finish

Hentley Farm, Clos Otto Shiraz other_regions_australia finishing incredibly long and packedAged in 100% French oak, the 2005 Shiraz Clos Otto is deep garnet colored with touches of brick and has earthy, meaty and gamey aromas intermingled with tobacco, tea, menthol and dried fruits. Big and very full bodied, the palate offers savory flavors of dried mulberries and Chinese dried plums, medium firm, chewy tannins and lively acid through the long finish. Drink it now until 2025+.
