Simonsig Mr Borio Shiraz 2009

A combination of mixed herbs, dried proteas and a touch of sweet perfumed violets underlined with vanilla oak spiciness. The firm tannin structure creates a foundation for these seductive aromas adding length and depth to a promising finish.

American oak leads French (66/34) in a 'sweetish' & rounded wine; altered oaking regime explains profile change from savoury & floral to richer toffee, fudge, banana. (Platter 2009)

Named in honour of a remarkable friend of the Malan family. You will not find better value for money than from this wonderful shiraz. Penetrating smokiness fleshed out with red berries and a hint of cassis. The palate is marked by an earthy sinuous structure.
