The 1989 Shiraz is an excellent Syrah from one of the cooler growing climates in Australia. The deep, opaque dark ruby color is followed by scents of mint, cassis, and oak. In the mouth, the wine is rich, with soft tannins, good acidity, and plenty of depth and flavor extraction in the finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Importer: Kobrand Corp., New York, NY.

Very distinctive and full of peppery, meaty, currantlike flavors that fill out a frame of moderate tannins and good acidity. Has a lingering finish, too. Drink now.??–null??Region: Australia / Western Australia / Margaret River Select to Add
