1999 Reserve Shiraz - Jacob's Creek -South Australia

4 grapes

Gorgeous! First you get colours that are so inky, vibrant and deep that you will need a knife to cut through. Then you get delicious spicy black fruit aromas followed by hints of chocolate and oak that makes Mama proud of that nose of yours. And finally on the palate, it is rich,, full bodied, with layers of sweet balckberries, wonderful balance and a long, long finish. a sensational wine for steaks, game or wild fowl. Did I say it was gorgeous!
