2005 tasting note:
A much warmer year than 2004, this release is a big, brooding monster of a Shiraz with perfectly integrated fruit, oak, tannin and acid. Still a baby at 8 years of age, the palate weight of the 2005 is something to behold. As well balanced as the 2004 with more muscle and an incredible mouth feel, it’s like a steak in a glass.
