2003 Mount Ida Shiraz

Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson mauve hue. Aroma of spice, black pepper, vanilla and mocha, showing a distinctive varietal nose. The palate does not have the same force that top examples of Heathcote Shiraz display. Moderate palate length, with spice and black pepper flavours evident followed by stewed plum and liquorice allsorts. Fine grained tannins, excellent balance. Aftertaste of plum, spice and stewed fruit.
Cellar 3-4 years (2009-2010)
