2010 Blue Eyed Boy

Shiraz (South Australia)

Winestate Magazine Shiraz and Blends Tasting - 4 1/2 stars
WA: 93 pts
‘… the 2010 Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz presents a very deep purple black color and is profoundly scented of warm black berries, blueberry pie filling, licorice and cloves with hints of Chinese five spice, mocha and cedar. Very rich, powerful and very full bodied, the concentrated fruit is well balanced by a medium to firm level of rounded tannins and lively acid. It has a very long milk chocolate and coconut laced finish’. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, www.erobertparker.com

'Smooth and velvety, with depth and a distinctive range of flavors, offering a minty edge to the black cherry, plum and spice, coming together smoothly on the polished finish. Drink now through 2016.' - 91 points, Harvey Steiman, www.winespectator.com
