One of the most lauded wines to ever come out of Australia, this particular 2010 vintage of the venerated Astralis shiraz, is a leviathan amongst the giants of its other years. Luscious, opulent, loaded with blackberry, blueberry compote, mocha, spices, and more. A profound experience for the connoisseur and the casual drinker.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Astralis is still quite primary eliciting aromas of black plums, blueberry compote and blackcurrant liqueur with a savory and baking spice undercurrent plus a fragrant whiff of violets. Very structured, fine and complex in the medium to full-bodied mouth, this wine is revealing much more than when I first tasted it a year ago and is now showing layer upon layer of black fruit preserves, mocha, toast and spices before finishing with great length. Extraordinary wine. Approachable now, it should cellar to 2030+.
