Tasting Notes

95
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jul 00
Bright dark ruby. Very fresh but brooding aromas of crystallized black raspberry, violet, dark chocolate, mocha and game. Rather closed and unforthcoming on the palate, but the wine's great depth of flavor and precision are already apparent. A step up from the last two wines in sheer intensity. Finishes with great sweetness of fruit, superb grip, and noble tannins that coat the teeth. This will be lush with five or six years of bottle age. Also tasted: 1998 Shiraz Brookman Vineyard Clarendon.

Australia Vineyard Fine Wine

Australia

Australian wines are globally acclaimed for their diversity and quality, driven by varied climates and innovative techniques. Shiraz, the country’s flagship grape, shines in bold, spicy wines from the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. Australia also excels in Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Margaret River is noted for Bordeaux-style blends and elegant Chardonnays, while Clare and Eden Valleys are known for aromatic Rieslings. Top producers include Penfolds, Henschke, Yalumba, Leeuwin Estate, and Torbreck.
