Domaine Cambrien Heathcote Shiraz Pleiade 2009 750ml

Domaine Cambrien Heathcote Shiraz "Pleiade" 2009 is a mature Australian red wine associated with the collaboration between Rhône winemaker Michel Chapoutier and the Laughton family of Jasper Hill in Heathcote, Victoria. The region is celebrated for its ancient Cambrian red soils, which contribute to the concentration, structure and distinctive mineral character of its Shiraz wines.
Made from Shiraz, this vintage offers the potential for layered dark-fruit flavours, savoury spice and earthy complexity developed through bottle ageing. Depending on storage conditions, the wine may reveal notes of blackberry, black cherry, liquorice, dried herbs and subtle leather, supported by mature tannins and a lingering finish.
With its regional character and mature-vintage appeal, this wine is suited to collectors of Australian Shiraz and special dining occasions. As a wine from 2009, its present condition and drinking window will depend significantly on provenance and storage history.
