Schild Estate Barossa Valley Shiraz 2009
  
Tasted with artisan cheeses, pear fruit, smoked salmon and various biscuits as shown. L loves this style but the metallic tones detract from my preference.

Recently purchase a half dozen selections of the same vintage and varietal, 2009 Australian Shiraz' from different producers. Will be tasting and journaling over the coming weeks. Ideally would do a comparison tasting in one sitting. Hopefully will do this soon. Meanwhile watch for these posting. 
Dark
 inky purple color, big full body - big aromas and forward full flavors of black and blue berry fruits, a layer of metallic
 mineral, a layer of black cherry with hints of vanilla, and spice on a full lingering tongue coating tannin 
finish. 
RM 89 points.
