Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 Conquest Shiraz offers evolving aromas of mulberries and warm plums with hints of leather, tobacco and Chinese five spice. Mature and drinking well now, it has a medium to full body and a good amount of spiced warm berry flavors supported by crisp acid and a low to medium level of powdery tannins, finishing medium to long. Drinking well now, it should remain good to 2014. No known US importer.
