2004 Turkey Flat Vineyards Barossa Shiraz

Planted in 1847, the Turkey Flat Vineyard boasts some of the oldest Shiraz vines in the world. This is a Classic Barossa Red. Opaque black purple colour, with black purple hue, providing a saturated appearance. The nose is lifted, with perfumed notes of vanilla, blackberry, plum, spice and liquorice. The palate is everything one expects to emerge from a Barossa Shiraz - ‘Big & joosy’. Flavours of ripe blood plum, blackberry, vanilla and confectionary. Fine grained, perfectly balanced tannins. Very long aftertaste of plum and vanilla. Limited stocks.
Cellar 3-4 years (2009-2010)
Alc/Vol: 15%

Other Reviews…
Co-fermented with 1% Marsanne, the fabulous 2004 Shiraz boasts a dense purple colour as well as a big, sweet nose of blackberries, toasty French oak, liquorice, and new saddle leather. Full-bodied, rich, and heady, with loads of glycerine, silky tannin, and a blockbuster finish, it should be drunk over the next decade.
