2000 Shiraz
Wonderful rich Shiraz flavours with our trademark smoky, mint and berry nose. This vintage is quite an approachable wine in its youth, well balanced and with a long finish. Further ageing develops the complexity in this wine, displaying fruit and oak with a soft tannin structure, the wine is delicious with food.
