Two Hands, Zippy's Block Shiraz

Two Hands, Zippy's Block ShirazThe 2007 Shiraz Zippys Block from Roennfeldt Road in the Marananga sub region of Barossa Valley, is a brooding, burly wine with a splendid nose of plum, tar, licorice, smoke, game, and blueberry. On the palate it is surprisingly restrained, bordering on elegant. Savory, ripe, and medium long, it will be approachable in 1 2 years and drink well for a decade thereafter.
