Grant Burge 2000 Filsell Shiraz

Variety: Shiraz
Region/G.I.: Barossa, Barossa Valley
Vintage: 2000
Closure: Cork
Colour:  Purple with a brown hue
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bouquet: Dehydrated plum, mulberry and dusty aromas
Flavour: Very gentle. plum and possibly raspberry fruit along with some white pepper in the finish. Also interesting a small kick of tannin to round out the taste.
Points: 88 (4+7+12+7+8+50)
Notes:  We tasted 3 aged Australian Shirazes and the others found it hard to choose a winner. I ranked this second. The touch of tannin remaining was a highlight. Bought through an online auction for $31 ~ 575 Kc
