The Octavius Barossa Old Vine Shiraz
Shiraz 2005- Vintage quality: Soaking rains followed by a warm summer and autumn enabled the grapes to ripen evenly and gradually. The result is red wines from the Barossa showing excellent flavour intensity and structure.
- Cellar guide: 15+ Years
- Last tasted: May 2007, Kevin Glastonbury, Winemaker
- Notes: This wine is full depth red-purple in colour. The nose shows hints of opulent plums, coffee and cedar with a crunch of dark berries and a burst of olive and aniseed. The palate displays sweet spicy fruit in the mid palate, all plump and juicy. This is not a massively concentrated wine, but it is full bodied and has a melt of oozing tannins to finish. Immaculate.
