Howard Park Scotsdale Shiraz 2008

The 2008 Scotsdale Shiraz is a dense bright purple wine with brilliant clarity. The nose has lifted sweet plum, raspberry, licorice and clove aromas of remarkable intensity. With further breathing there are complex anise, mocha and subtle pepper notes emerging.
The 2008 has great concentration without sacrificing finesse. Sweet red licorice and spice characters are
wrapped in a plush, silken texture of great persistence. The tannins are incredibly fine and well balanced giving the palate a great seamless quality. This is a long wine with raspberry licorice and cardamon
notes persisting for an eternity. A great (or greatest?) Scotsdale Shiraz in a distinguished lineage, the 2008 is at its finest.
"Just splendid. Spice, liquorice, violets and blackberried fruit. We could smell this all day! It's medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, enough flavour and a brightness, lightness and length. This is the kind of Great Southern shiraz we like to see. Not so much oomph but lots of class. 93 Points." - Campbell Mattinson & Gary Walsh, The Big Red Wine Book 2010/2011, 1 June 2010.
