Yalumba Shiraz Viognier T 1999

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaDark almost opaque colour. Chocolate cherry mint mixed with vanilla tobacco and a touch of floral raspberry character in the background. Rich juicy chunky fruit flavours showing more smoky leather and chocolate mint in the mouth with a raspberry black cherry finish. Fine balance hides the elevated alcohol and acidity. As French as Australian shiraz can get. Hold for a minimum five years for best possible results. Good value.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
