1999 Mount Ida Shiraz

Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$39. 99
Bottle
$479.88 Dozen
Closure: Cork

The Mount Ida vineyard is located in the Heathcote area, however, the fruit for the 1999 wine seems to have been sourced from a much broader area.
Opaque black crimson colour. Aroma of violet, vanilla, spice and blackcurrant, followed by an earthy, truffle end note. The palate lacks the depth and concentration of what is expected from Heathcote, but none the less delivers plenty of blackberry, plum, earth, spice and truffle flavours. Fine grained tannin structure, excellent balance, followed by a long aftertaste of blackberry, spice and liquorice. Cellar 3 – 4 years. (2004 – 2005)

RATING: 92/100

VALUE: XXXX/5
