Note di degustazione
A fabulous example of old vine Shiraz, this offering displays a surreal combination of purity, elegance, and delineation with enormous concentration and intensity. Its black/purple color is accompanied by aromas of espresso roast intermingled with blackberries, creme de cassis, melted licorice, bacon fat, and a touch of subtle oak. This is a ripe, full-bodied effort. The 2003 had a slim edge over the 2002 in terms of elegance, but at this level of quality, to choose one over the other is splitting hairs. This is a well-endowed, super-concentrated Shiraz with more elegance and finesse than typical for these blockbusters from South Australia. It should evolve for 12-15+ years.

Deep ruby. Pungent, lightly singed scents of cassis, blackberry, dark plum and espresso, accented by floral notes of violet and magnolia blossom. Seems exotic but remains focused and precise. Rich, weighty and succulent on the palate, with creamy, lush flavors of creme de mure, dark cherry, mocha and vanilla. Firms up with air and finishes with building structure. This promises to hold and develop nicely for some years.Vine StreetImports,Philadelphia PA
