Bellingham Shiraz 2000
Western Cape, South AfricaOn the other hand the Bellingham Shiraz opens with rich black berry and leather aromas laced with pepper and smoky American oak. Intense black cherry fruit marks the flavour with spice and vanilla streaks throughout. There's a fine lick of acidity in the undercarriage to supports the sweet, ripe tannins that linger in the finish. Good effort; fine value.Tasted: 01 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $15.95 | 750ml |
