1998 Sevenhill Shiraz Touriga Malbec

Made from a blend of 50% Shiraz, 28% Touriga and 22% Malbec. Medium body, deep crimson mauve purple colour. The nose displays aromas of ink, earth, leather and iodine, with a pronounced farmyard end note. Inky farmyard palate flavours with iodine character lurking on the back palate. Soft tannins, slightly bitter end flavour and long lingering farmyard earth aftertaste. Cellar 3-4 years. As interesting style, no doubt strongly influenced by the Touriga component which is very drinkable, but a little idiosyncratic.
