Fox Gordon, Eight Uncles Shiraz, Barossa Valley, 2013
81
Tasted by:
(at Decanter's June 2017 issue Australian Value Shiraz Panel Tasting, 16 Feb 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2019
Bright, fruit filled aromas with a hint of sun-dried tomato and bruised apple. The ripe and sweet dark fruits are rather heftily extracted, leaving a chewy, mouth puckering sensation enhanced by coarse tannins. Some purity and depth, however.
