Claime d'Or Robertson Shiraz 2010 84+ Points



Bright, youthful, ruby cherry red with slight purple rim.

Clean, high intensity, tad over ripe red fruits medley, blackberry, spicy plum, peppery profile, earthy with hints of black olives in brine, delicate oaking, some graphite note, cedar wood.

Dry with dash of residual sugar, fruit follows through, medium plus acidity, fresh, crunchy medium plus ripe tannins, savory black olives paste, earthy complexity with tobacco dust on texture, lots of complexity, slightly detracted from high alcohol of 14% abv, noticeable on back palate. Only 3400 bottles produce, will reward cellaring over the next 3 years
