2008 WARRABILLA RESERVE DURIF RUTHERGLEN VIC



Warrabilla simply does not disappoint.  You may recall my earlier post on Parola's limited edition durif, and this reserve vintage is its younger cousin.

Dark plum red hues with about a quarter of the visible residue lining the glass, compared with the limited edition.  Appetising blackcurrant nose.  On the palate there is a shot of ribena sweetness that quickly gives way to refreshing mint tones cooling the mid palate, followed with a delicate liquorice finish that keeps you lingering the next sip.  

Juicy. Succulent. Complex.  Stock up to drink now AND cellar.
