Heartland Stickleback Red 2005
South Australia, AustraliaThe '05 Stickleback Red delivers with upfront spicy, black cherry, cassis, olive and coffee aromas. The texture is dry and supple with just a hint of acidity. He flavours are a mouth-filling mix of peppery, cassis, raspberry notes streaked with spicy, olive, orange and tobacco leaf flavours. Good fruit if a little herbaceous in the finish.Tasted: 19 November 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $15.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
