Metala William Formby Shiraz 2016 quinta-do-vesuvio the yellow limestone (tuffeau) bedrockDense inky black in colour with a very deep dark red black tinged hue. Lifted black cherry liqueur and liquorice scents carry an earthy leather overlay with vanillin oak and spicy mocha notes also evident. Rich and heavy with a thick plush textural feel lavish blackberry and liquorice fruits sit over a vanillin oak leather earthy mocha and spice back drop. Ripe chewy tannins with a long opulent aftertaste.
