The 2006 Astral Series FG Shiraz is a glass-coating opaque purple. It offers up an alluring aromatic array of violets, Asian spices, smoked meat, plum, blueberry, and licorice. Dense and layered on the palate, it has plenty of spicy, ripe fruit, ample fine grained tannins, and several years of aging potential. If you can get past the price, drink this flavorful effort between 2012 and 2021. Importer: North American Beverage Group, tel. (248) 922-2890
