Deen De Bortoli Vat 8 Shiraz 2002
Riverina, New South Wales, AustraliaEarthy, big black pepper, spicy garrigue, black berry leather aromas with a smoky note. Dry, round, fairly soft palate with good peppery, spicy, black cherry, smoky tea and licorice flavours. A bit hot but has good fruit intensity without the sweet fruity/tutti aspect. Best with meat to tame some light tannins. Very solid wine.Tasted: 01 November 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $18.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
