Langmeil Shiraz The Freedom 2001

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe Auricht family planted the first vineyard at Langmeil in the mid 1840s and a few acres still remain. These dry grown, hand picked, hand pruned old vines yield less than 2 tonnes per acre, thereby producing fruit with extreme intensity of colour and flavour. Look for intense black pepper, smoky vanilla, cherry cola, blackberry jam aromas with some meaty, licorice notes. Big, rich, intense mouth with black cherry jam, cola, vanilla, coffee, licorice flavours and a warm, spicy, berry jam finish. Some acidity and tannins give this a good structure, needs a good 3 years.Tasted: 31 August 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
