The 2005 Shiraz Johann Georg is purple/black-colored. A fragrant nose of Asian spices, bacon, lavender, game, and blueberry lead to a dense, rich, powerful, and structured Shiraz. It will require a minimum of 6-8 years to fully blossom after which it should offer 15-20 years of pleasurable drinking. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (805) 782-9095
