Barrabool Shiraz 1997 Take a glass and contemplate this deep coloured wine which is an elegant and delicate example of fine winemaking. Its fine, complex aroma is made up of nutmeg, cloves and aniseed with overtones of eucalyptus leaves. Take a generous mouthful and experience its soft tannin and powerful depth of fruit flavour. Although a pleasure now, this Victorian Shiraz will benefit from a spell in the cellar of ten to fifteen years. Sommelier's Tip: Try with spatchcock or grilled chicken. Region: Geelong, Victoria (Reviewed September 1999) |
