1999 Pertaringa Shiraz

The Pertaringa vineyard is located in foothills to the East of McLaren Vale. The cooler climate of this vineyard allows for a longer ripening period resulting in fruit of great intensity of flavour. This is a superb Shiraz, displaying elegance and depth of flavour. Very deep crimson colour. Aroma of violets, cedar, plum and spice - a pleasure to sniff! The palate flavours are mouthfilling, displaying perfectly ripe fruit with a rare combination of weight and elegance - this is a very refined style. Palate flavours of ripe plums, blackberries and cedar. Excellent length and persistence. Perfect balance. Very fine tannins, followed by a long blackpepper, plum and spice aftertaste. An outstanding wine. Cellar 3-4 years. Stocks are very limited.

RATING: 93/100
