These fruit aromas are complemented by hints of black pepper, cloves, and a touch of smoky oak, adding complexity and depth to the wine. The palate of this Shiraz is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and luxurious mouthfeel. The flavors of black fruits continue to dominate, with notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, and dark chocolate. There is a beautiful balance between the fruitiness and the subtle spiciness, creating a harmonious and well-integrated wine. The Primo Estate Shale Stone Shiraz has a long and lingering finish, leaving a lasting impression on the palate. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully, allowing the flavors to further develop and evolve over time.
