Medium Ruby. Nose of dusty plums with cloves, cinnamon and liquorice. On the palate full bodied with plummy notes, fine medium tannins. Still lively acid for 15 years of age, but not out of balance. On the contrary an excellent mature McLaren Vale Shiraz. From the book "1001 Wines to Drink Before You Die"!

Plum and red currant are predominant on the nose. There is a hint of mint that follows. Structure is excellent on the palate with a balance of blueberries, current and spice. Finish is long with liquorice and nutmeg. Vintage 2001. Drink it now.
