Mount Avoca 1998 Shiraz



General: One of my brother's lost wines that we tried for Mother's Day today. The wine had worked its way almost to the end of the cork but the seal seems to have worked

Variety: Shiraz

Region/G.I.: Western Victoria, Pyrenees

Alcohol: 13.5%

Bouquet: Subdued and a little dusty. Plum still in existence.

Flavour: The highlight of this wine was its texture. It was so smooth - very gentle plum and some brambly flavours. No tannin left. Its beyond its peak but interesting anyway

Points: 85
