Vasse Felix Shiraz 2001
Margaret River, Western Australia, AustraliaBlack pepper, smoky, vanilla, licorice, black cherry and leather aromas mark the nose with a hint of prunes and game. Rich, round, elegant and smooth with light/fine tannins. Warm but balanced with spicy, floral, black plum, smoky, licorice and vanilla flavours that finish with a touch of fruit pudding. Stylish and a bit nervy, it has fine concentration and fruit. Should improve over the next 1-3 years but you can drink it now.Tasted: 22 August 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $38.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
