2004 Cape Mentelle Wallcliffe Shiraz

Very deep almost opaque black crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Superb nose with violet top notes followed by blackberry and vanilla delivering a superb perfumed sniff. The palate whilst being very tight, displays good structure and a classic Margaret River Shiraz flavour profile, white pepper, blackberry and vanilla over a layer of cedar and spice. Fine grained, dry but balanced tannins. Very long aftertaste.
