Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 The Mad Hatter Shiraz is intensely scented of ripe mulberries, blueberry pie filling and licorice with hints of tree bark, cinnamon stick and mace. Medium to full bodied, it offers mouth-filling ripe berry flavors supported by very crisp acidity and a medium level of rounded tannins, finishing long. Drink this one now through 2017+.
