This is third in the pecking order of Mount Langi shiraz so it gets the chirpy little name of ‘Billi Billi’. Not an enigmatic name like ‘Ghiran’ or a dangerous exciting name like ‘Cliff Edge’. Oh well I’ll bloody well show them puffed little Billi Billi…

Aromas of dark cherry, licorice, flowers and spice with a whiff of raw meat adding complexity. Nice smelling wine. On the palate medium to full bodied with bright juicy berry and cherry fruit, meat and violets. Looks a little flat. Fresh acidity and light grainy tannins. Sour cherry finish with a slightly tinny character on the end. Good well priced shiraz.
