"It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place "
- Abigail Van Buren
Shiraz 2003
| Nose: |
Spice, pepper, blackberries and the perfume of violets fill the senses.
|
| Palate: |
This is a medium bodied wine displaying all the wonderful characters of cool climate Shiraz which is superbly balanced with the new French oak handling.
|
| Finish: |
The finish is very long with concentrated ripe blackberry flavours continuing to please for the longest time.
|
| Food: |
Enjoy this wine with spicy dishes, and meats such as lamb, beef and cheese.
|
| Cellaring: |
With good cellaring the wines optimum drinking will occur between 5 to 7 years but is drinking wonderfully right now.
