The 1998 McLaren vintage has been compared to the great 1996 vintage and if this wine is an early indication of the quality then 1998 will certainly be a contender for vintage of the decade!This is a classic McLaren Vale Shiraz with at least a decade of cellaring in front of it. Magnificent opaque crimson purple colour. Delightful, layered nose with aromas of blackpepper, plum, spice, liquorice and crushed blackberry. Big palate flavours. Solid construction. Powerful long lived flavour of blackpepper, plum and liquorice. Very generous. Fine grained, quite firm yet balanced tannins which last into the aftertaste. Long blackpepper, plum and spice aftertaste.
