2004 Avalon Shiraz

Historically Avalon have produced some very impressive wines, however it has been some time since we have seen samples of their wines and when the 2004 Shiraz arrived we were keen to observe the progress that this winery has made.

Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Aroma of black pepper, plum and spice followed by notes of dark plum, liquorice and dark chocolate. On the palate the black pepper is pronounced, followed by a layer of liquorice allsorts. Fine grained tannins, perfect balance. Very long aftertaste of spice and black pepper.
Cellar 3-4 years (2009-2010)
Alc/Vol: 14.4%
