Anaperenna 2006: Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

(75% shiraz and 25% cabernet sauvignon) Deep, glass-staining ruby. Spicy blackberry and blueberry aromas are complicated by smoky indian spices and fresh flowers. Sappy, pure, deeply concentrated dark berry flavours stain the palate, with fine grained tannins gaining strength with air. The spicy character repeats on the finish of the beautifully balanced blend, which is suprisingly lithe and precise.
