Massena The Eleventh Hour Shiraz 2009
- Region Barossa Valley, SA
- Type Red
- Size 750ml
- Alcohol 14.5%
The Eleventh Hour has become one of Massena's most coveted releases. It's a traditionally bold Barossa shiraz, full of punchy red and black fruits, evenly measured liquorice and chocolate. This year strives further than the warm-vintage 2008, delivering an inkier, tighter and more concentrated expression of the fruit. The tannins are firmer and the perfume a little more exotic, with slowly blossoming layers of complexity. It is ready for cellaring, but has the silky presence to drink handsomely now. -NT
Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
says:...smells and tastes of raspberry, blackberry essence, caramelised figs and various warm spices...an exceptionally tidy, clean, controlled wine - the signal of its class.
