This exhibits generous blackberry and raspberry fruit at the core, shading the edges with pretty white pepper, cream and floral overtones that insinuate themselves beautifully as the finish goes on and on. Drink now through 2016. 91 points, The Wine Spectator
The 2006 Shiraz Gold Label was aged for 15 months in a mix of new and seasoned French and American oak. Purple-colored, it exhibits aromas of cedar, earth notes, spice box, blueberry and blackberry. Layered on the palate with enough stuffing to evolve for 2-3 years, the wine will drink well from 2010 to 2018. 90 points, The Wine Advocate #181, FEB 2009 |
