點擊次數(shù)：5031

The beautifully floral and cassis-scented and flavored 2002 Shiraz was aged 16 months in equal parts French and American oak casks. It exhibits a dense ruby/purple color along with elegant yet authoritative flavors of black currants, licorice, charcoal, and a hint of earth. Drink this pure, ripe, long Shiraz over the next 7-8 years.Importer: Peter Click, Click Imports, Seattle, WA; tel. (800) 859-0689

The 2000 Shiraz may be the finest Shiraz yet tasted from Dalwhinnie. Unlike South Australia, 2000 was a great vintage in the Pyrenees, and this offering possesses terrific flavor purity, wonderful density, elegance combined with power, and notes of bacon fat interwoven with creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, and minerals. The finish is exceptionally pure and persistent. Anticipated maturity: now-2012. Importer: Ted Schrauth, Old Vines Australia, imported by Epic Wines, Santa Cruz, CA, tel.

An elegant red with distinct floral, almost violet-tinged, plum and anise flavors that wrap around a velvety, supple structure. Has length and character, just needs time to develop it all. Best from 2001 to 2003. 700 cases made.??–null??Region: Australia / Victoria Select to Add
