Description
A true Icon, The Centurion takes its name from of one of Australia’s and indeed the World’s oldest surviving vineyards, planted in 1892 by brothers Walter and Clement Philipson. Changing hands to Thomas Wigley in 1893, acquired by Burton Wyndam Hamilton in 1947 and passed to Dr Richard Hamilton.
A classy Shiraz showing aromatics and spicy perfumed lifted enhanced through beautifully integrated French oak which provides a subtle cedar background to the cherry plum fruits. Generous and flavoursome, the palate has silky tannins and lovely persistence. The structure retains the hallmark elegant seamlessness of this pedigree Shiraz. Perfectly balanced. Designed to mature and develop to give many years of drinking pleasure, 10 years at least.
Tasting Notes
Bouquet: Rich, earthy cherry fruit characters, with a delicate touch of nutmeg from aged oak
