Dowie Doole McLaren Vale Shiraz 2002
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaMeaty, smoky oak, vanilla, saddle leather nose spiked with barnyard, licorice root and black berry fruit. The entry is fat, round, warm and smooth with some acidity. Sweet cherry, vanilla, coffee, cedar, black raspberry flavours with a smoky, bacon finish. Some dry tannins with a hot streak poke through. Needs a year or so to smooth out. A big red for rainy days and roasted meats.Tasted: 11 March 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $32.95 | 750ml | specialty listing |
