Tasting Notes - Brini 'Blewitt Springs' Shiraz 2002

No mention of the grape source in the press material so I assume this is made from contract fruit. Nice nose, fairly soft with gamey, savoury traces and some ripe berry fruits. Palate is a little hard to work out; a little subdued if one was looking for bright fruit but it does have a nice balanced feel. More savoury notes, licorice, finishes a touch short but some heat and acid makes an impact, although not obtrusive. Needs more obvious fruit to match the tannins. Not sure where the wine is just now - just resting? - but I need more juicy fruit action to get excited. Nothwithstanding these thoughts I'd love to see this wine in 3 years time.
