Chapel Hill The Vicar Shiraz 2001
Ripe, old-fashioned, firm and tarry blend of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz whose dusty, earthy aromas of violets, cassis and dark olives, pepper and cinnamon are enhanced by cedary/chocolate oak influences. Thickly coated with jammy blackberry, plum and currant-like fruit, it is bound by slightly sappy, green-edged tannins before a slightly salty, savoury licorice-like finish.

Chapel Hill
Chapel Hill is a very reliable and first-rate McLaren Vale maker of deeply layered and firmly structured red wines and lively, vivacious whites. The 2013 vintage reds fall into the more deeply ripened category and while they're never overcooked on the vine, I'd love to see them retain a little more brightness and intensity in the bottle.
