Wynns Coonawarra Estate Michael Shiraz

This is a dashingly refined and pristine Michael, a wine of resolute definition and substantial longevity, exemplifying Coonawarra shiraz of the highest order. Layers of complexity ripple with expressive blackberry and deep-set plum fruits, pristine black pepper, sizzling pan juices, roast game and a backdrop of milk chocolate oak. It uncoils to reveal a breathtaking expanse of lifted violet perfume and black plum fruit, riding on ultra-fine, textural tannins. For all of Michael’s intensity, the classic 2009 season keeps him resolutely medium-bodied and relaxed. 1 August 2012 release.
