The opaque purple-colored 1996 Shiraz reveals a eucalyptus and creme de cassis-scented nose with an additional component of spicy pepper. Dense and full-bodied, with good fruit and flavor extraction, this is a fruit-driven, lusty, mouthfilling, savory wine that can be drunk now or cellared for a decade.
