St. Hallet Blackwell Shiraz 1999

89POINTS

16^¼/20

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe common factor with all grapes destined for the Blackwell Shiraz is they come from vineyards aged from 70 up to 100 year old. Mature, dry grown vineyards such as these produce tiny yields of highly concentrated fruit. Look for a spicy, peppery, mocha, blackberry jam, licorice and earth aromas. Big, intense, warm and fat with quite high acidity. Cherry cola, creamy vanilla, blackberry jam flavours with some leather, vanilla butter and mocha on the finish with some sweetness. Great intensity but the elevated acidity leaves this red tasting out of balance.Tasted: 31 August 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
