Excelsior Paddock Shiraz 2005

Robertson, Breede River Valley, South AfricaSmoky bacon and Band-aid notes open the nose with bits of spice and leather. Blueberry and vanilla mark the mid-palate. It finishes warm and skinny with a dusting of leather and mocha coffee. Needs grilled meat to be at its best. The price is reasonable.Tasted: 26 January 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
