Other Reviews... The 2005 Shiraz Mungo Park (from 80-year old vines) boasts an inky/ruby/purple color, lovely earthy, smoky, peppery, blackberry, and cassis fruit, a dense, full-bodied palate, wonderful opulence and richness, sweet tannin, and fine length. This stunner should age beautifully for 1-2 decades.
