Waterford Estate Kevin Arnold Stellenbosch Shiraz 2009 92 Points



Impressive purity of fruit with subtly ripe blackberries and dark plums, fragrant lavender and hints of rosemary, smoky, delicately spicy.

Dry with grainy ripe tannin still integrating, leathery richness, delicate extraction with impressively pure dark red fruits follows through, savory, peppery zest, fresh and vibrant, I reckoned this is the best and most elegant Shiraz release to date by Waterford Estate.(all previous releases I have rated between 89 - 90+)

Will get even better with time in bottle if one can resists, gorgeous now yet have leg for evolution until 2021+
