1999 Jindalee Estate Shiraz

Medium weight crimson mauve purple colour. Aroma of stewed fruit, cherry and raspberry with youthful inky spice and vanilla end notes. The palate starts off well - with inky pepper flavours to the forefront, but is spoiled by a hint of cod liver flavour that is hard to reconciliate. Fine grained, soft tannins with aftertaste of cherry, mixed berries and cod liver oil.

Retasted: March 2001
