Yalumba Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz The Signature 1997

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaRich peppery, blackberry, jam aromas with more pencil lead and coffee streaks throughout. Leaner drier version of the 1996 with more pepper and licorice flavours and drier firmer tannins. Less stuffing than the '96 and not quite as well balanced. Will need more time to come around in the bottle.Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
