"At age eleven, this 1998 Shiraz still reveals some of its youthful fruit bomb characteristics. An inky/blue/purple color is followed by an explosive nose of black fruits, blueberries, acacia flowers, pepper, and incense. A layered, in-your-face, exuberant (but not over the top), rich, concentrated, pure, hedonistic example of Shiraz, it reveals no signs of falling apart, drying out, or losing its exuberance. . ."

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
