Thomas Wines Kiss Shiraz 2010


Andrew Thomas has a beautiful understanding of how to craft a wine out of grapes that may not have come from the best weather condition. Yet it is his ability to find brilliant vineyards that is most interesting.  

Thomas Wines Kiss Shiraz 2010

I was trying to work out this wine as I think Andrew has got it wrong.  A kiss is intimate but this wine is more than that. You could say that it is more of a spooning wine. Could it be the first spooning experience, as it just feels so good?  Maybe I should get back to the wine and get off the fantasies.  This wine has lushness about it but it still stays earthy with some lovely flavours of blackberry spice and chocolate shavings.  All these delightful flavours are secured on a medium bodied frame with a wedge of acidity running along its the spine. Drink it now? Well, you could but this will be better with a few years under its belt.
