Tasting Notes - Passing Clouds Shiraz Cabernet 1984

Surprise present from a customer. Light blood red in the glass - looks a bit tired. Nose is a bit of a revalation; quite lively, earthy, almost tarry notes and old berry notes....quite old fashioned. Much more subdued in the palate, no bright primary fruit, feels just a touch hot and extracted, tannins still there, a fraction searing and tart. Certainly not buggered but an interesting curio nevertheless.
