Note di degustazione
The inky/blue/purple-tinged 2003 Shiraz Mount Edelstone, aged 18 months in a combination of American and French oak (80% new), is even more sumptuous and voluptuous than the Cyril Henschke. Notions of blackberries, cassis, pepper, graphite, and melted road tar emerge from this rich, full-bodied, impeccably well-balanced Shiraz. It can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15+ years.

Dark ruby. Powerful, deeply concentrated aromas of blackberry liqueur, blackcurrant, plum jam, vanilla, oak spices and cracked pepper. Dense, ripe and rich, with a lush texture and ripe, licorice-tinged dark fruit and cured meat flavors building and deepening with air. While there are tannins here, the superripe plum, blackberry and cassis flavors have pretty much absorbed them, making this almost drinkable right now. Finishes with a brighter cherry note, good grip and a lingering smoky quality. The vines here were planted in 1912.
