Giving a very deep garnet-purple color, the 2008 Miamba Shiraz has some notes of tar over a moderate intensity of blackberry, warm blueberry, earth and cloves. Crisp with medium-firm fine tannins, good concentration and a long finish, this is a very good, well balanced, full bodied Shiraz. Drink it now to 2015.
