2005 Giant Steps Shiraz

Almost opaque black crimson colour with deep black crimson hue. Top note of leather, followed by plum, stewed fruit and black pepper with an earthy end note. Fine dryish tannins showing a chalky quality. There is a Cotes du Rhone like influence on the palate. Flavours of plum, stewed fruit and spice emerge and linger into the aftertaste.
