De Bortoli G.S Reserve Shiraz 1998
Yarra Valley, Victoria, AustraliaOpen smoky bacon, barnyard, garrigue, peppery, blackberry jam aromas. Very elegant soft and forward with vanilla, spicy oak, plum jam, coffee and garrigue flavours. Very delicate style that is ready to drink with white pepper and cherry aftertaste. Slight acidity and some dry tannins in the finish indicate aging for a few years for full enjoyment.Tasted: 22 January 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $66.95 | 750ml | Speculative - Reichel-Waldorf |
