2008 MARQUIS  PHILIPS SHIRAZ MCLAREN VALE



Beautiful plum bouquets on nose.  This wine was definitely a surprise find in my cellar.

While I am well versed with the classic McLaren Vale shiraz notes, this wine has surpassed my expectations.

The lovely bouquet was followed with sweet berries at the front of the palate, luscious berries was uniquely gloved by a smooth biteful (but not at all astringent) tannin structure.  Balanced flavours through out, with a crisp satisfying finish, a warm reminder of the 16% alcohol content.
