2001 Plantagenet Mount Barker Shiraz
A magnificent Shiraz, that will no doubt stake the confidence of many a Barossa and McLaren Vale producer. Totally opaque black crimson colour. Superb nose. Lifted notes of violets and spice are followed by notes of vanilla and cedar with blackberry emerging in the background. The palate is mouthfilling, blackpepper flavours explode and are meshed with layers of vanilla, mocca and liquorice. Outstanding length and depth. Perfect balance with exceptionally long aftertaste of spice, liquorice, blackberry and vanilla.
