1993 Elderton Shiraz

Neil Ashmead produces generous reds which in the past have beenovercome by an equally generous dose of new oak. The fruit /wood components of this wine are in complete harmony and shouldenhance the wine for at least a decade. Deep brick red colour.Superb uplifted nose of ripe plums, spice, new leather andstewed fruits. The palate is loaded with blackpeppers - quiteconcentrated, literally encompassing the entire palate. Inky,peppery, spice and liquorice flavours compliment the newAmerican and French oak. Fine, firm tannin structure with verylong cherry spice aftertaste .\Z
