Deep, rich red colour with traces of purple. The bouquet is complex and mellow with rich earth, roasted nut and spice aromas coupled with traces of cassis/blackberry from the cabernet. A hint of tomato stalk, too. The palate has good flesh and density, concentration and a clean, long finish. The price keeps inching up, but this is a top vintage for this wine

Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2012 Keyneton Estate Shiraz Euphonium explodes from the nose with lifted cherry, blackberry and mulberry notes over suggestions of licorice, sandalwood, bay leaves and cedar. Medium-bodied with mouth-filling cherry, berry and spice box flavors, it has a solid backbone of grainy tannins and lively acid, finishing very long.
