Leasingham Shiraz Classic Clare Shiraz 1999

Clare Valley, South Australia, AustraliaLicorice root, garrigue, plummy, smoky, coffee vanilla aromas with black pepper and meaty notes. Very rich, unctuous, concentrated palate with some big but dry, fine tannins. Intense vanilla, coffee, smoky blackberry jam and mocha flavours with lifted acidity on the finish. Needs 3 to 5 years to round out but should be worth the wait.Tasted: 31 August 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
