Lushof Shiraz 2003 #16217

Tasting Notes For a first crop shiraz this wine shows an intensity of colour usually associated with fruit from more established vines, bright crimson hues set around a deep core. This hints at the rich spicy aromas which follow on the nose, a trademark of well-managed young shiraz fruit throughout the world, combining whiffs of cigar box and mocha with white pepper and eucalyptus. A restricted crop of small, intensely flavoured berries provides a concentration and mouthfeel which is both upfront and velvety. To this is added a fine coating of sweet and supple fruit tannin from the 2004 vintage, giving a final blend of both structure and delicacy around a core of spiced brambly fruits.
