Each by the case Hentley Farm Clos Otto Shiraz Traditional dark fruits combine with a complex herbal element with notes of mint and jasmine. Violets are also evident lifting the overall aromatic intensity, highlighting secondary characters such as cigar box, choc mint, leather, graphite and a faint red candy lift. Chocolate pudding and red fruits fill the front and middle of the palate leading to a spice driven back palate. Savoury elements provide the shade along the sides with black pepper and mint intermingled throughout. As is the case with all Clos Otto vintages, layer upon layer of soft velvet like tannin fill every hole on the palate providing outstanding length and texture. Rich, complex, balanced, elegant and powerful all wrapped up in one wine.
