Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 The Fruit Bat Single Vineyard Shiraz shows pronounced blackberry compote, raspberry coulis and mulberries aromas with touches of forest floor, moss-covered bark and black truffles. Full-bodied and concentrated with warm berry flavors fused with an appealing earthiness, it is well-structured with firm, rounded tannins, balanced acid and a long finish. Drink it now to 2024+.

Gritty tannins play against wet hay and tobacco nuances, backed by a light core of blackberry and coffee flavors, lingering gently. Needs cellaring. Best after 2015. 25 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
