2003 Peter Lehmann Eight Songs Shiraz

This wine should be an absolute cracker, however it misses the opportunity to deliver greatness. Produced from fruit grown in four of Barossa Valley’s top sub-districts – Marananga, Ebenezer, Light Pass and Tanunda.

Medium body, crimson brick red colour with brick red hue. Perfumed nose, with delicate top note of plum, prune and cedar over a new leather end note, showing some bottle development. On the palate the ripe fruit flavours are beginning to fade, with flavours of stewed plum and spice emerging over a background of dry chalky tannins. The wine lacks the length and complexity of past vintages.
Cellar 2-3 years (2010-2011)
Alc/Vol: 14.5%
