Tasting Notes Dr Ron Goergiou MW
2003 Salet Shiraz 14.6% alc.
Black cherry red in colour with an intense nose of black fruits, licorice
and spices: extremely ripe. On the palate, the wine
displays low to medium acidity and echoes the nose with black spice
fruit showing beautiful integration with the intense coconut and
vanilla characters of the American oak. The palate displays a seamless
integration and a weighty velvetiness which is round and long.
The key features here are a huge explosion of upfront fruit, tremendous
length and persistence. Although clearly a new world wine, the wine
making displays old world Finesse 92/100.
