2010 PENNY'S HILL CRACKING BLACK SHIRAZ MCLAREN VALE SA

Young blackberries on nose. Another dark red almost black hues, yet its opaqueness is still evident if you put under direct light.  The texture is rick and creamy, with plenty of liquorice and spice on the palate.   Unfortunately the flavours fall short of its long oaky finish. Given the 2009 did so well, I am willing to give this wine benefit of doubt for a 2nd tasting in 2014.
