Peter Lehmann 8 Songs Shiraz 2013

It's hard to deny the appeal of this archetypal Barossa red - not shy in any shape or form. It's full-bodied, richly flavoured all roasted and toasted oak with a bridge of tannin and somewhat drying. But a long future ahead.

Medium garnet with a bit of purple, the 2012 Shiraz Eight Songs is scented of blackberries, black raspberries and red currants with hints of green peppercorns, garrigue and earth. Medium to full-bodied with plenty of lively black and red berry flavors on offer in the mouth, it has a good firm structure and long, lifted finish.
