1996 Mount Langi Ghiran Shiraz

This is indeed a top Western District red - however, the likely hood of acquiring a case for the cellar is going to be difficult since allocations are in the order of 6 bottles per retail outlet.Opaque crimson purple colour. The nose is outstanding and displays intense aromas of spiced blackberries, blackpeppers with a vanillin oak background - Sniffing pleasure! The palate is totally mouthfilling! Rich concentrated shiraz at its best. The blackpepper flavours totally dominate the palate with hints of liquorice and echoes of vanillin oak. Perfect balance and silky smooth tannin structure, followed by an exceptionally long aftertaste. If you can find a bottle anywhere - grab it!
