Chris Ringland, Hoffman Shiraz Size:6x750ml plenty of cassis and black

plenty of cassis and black cherry fruit

An extremely ripe yet still fresh nose puts on display notes of mocha and liqueur-like red cherry aromas that are nuanced by spice and earth hints

The palate is full-bodied

No reserve was made in this vintage

and it has a very fine mineral sensation

Chris Ringland, Hoffman Shiraz Size:6x750ml plenty of cassis and blackReleased ahead of the 2009, reflecting the even, early vintage, the 2010 could not be more different. It's bursting with blackberry fruit on steroids joined by parma violet florals, followed by savoury layers of prune, liquorice and smoked meat. Dark, juicy and expressive, it has a very persistent salty, mineral finish supported by ripe, powerful tannins. It spent 62 months in 100% new French oak hogsheads.
