Jamie Goode's Wine Blog, 'Three very interesting Aussies: First Drop' October 2010.

First Drop Mother’s Milk #4 Shiraz 2008 Barossa
14.5% alcohol. Rich, forward, vibrant blackberry and blackcurrant fruit nose. Sweet and pure with some meat and tar overtones. The palate is dense, concentrated and sweetly fruited with some grippy, spicy structure and subtle mint and tar notes, as well as a bit of creamy vanilla richness. A little angular at the moment, but showing a lovely concentration of summer pudding fruit, with great purity and some supporting oak. Joyful. 92/100
