Bottle
$143.88 Dozen
Cellar: 2 - 3 Years (2008-2009)
ABV: 14%
Closure: Cork

Vibrant black purple colour with deep purple hue.  Lifted nose of spice, violets and blackberry delivering an impressive sniff.  Moderate palate length.  Flavours of stewed plum and spice are evident.  The palate lacks the ‘joosy’ character that is very much the expression of McLaren Vale.  Aftertaste of spice and stewed fruit.

Other Reviews...

This represents even more awesome value than the De Bortoli Shiraz. It may be a long time before another sub $13 wine receives 94 points, but given prior vintages of Oomoo, it isn't as surprising as it might be. The wine has exceptionally rich and luscious red and black fruits, the tannins ripe, and well-balanced and integrated. Will repay cellaring.
