A fairly priced, top flight example of a Barossa Valley Shiraz, Elderton’s 2002 boasts a huge bouquet of creme de cassis, blackberries, asphalt, smoke, and earth. Muscular and full-bodied, with supple tannin, a silky texture, and a voluptuous finish, this gorgeous effort can be drunk now and over the next decade. Imported by USA Wine West, San Rafael, CA; tel. (800) 485-5753 for John Larchet, The Australian Premium Wine Collection.

Supple, fleshy style fills the mouth with classic black cherry, raspberry and licorice flavors, finishing smooth and remarkably generous. Drink now through 2008. 1,000 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa Select to Add
