| Wine Notes: | "Kaesler's winemaker, Reid Bosward, is a consulting winemaker for David Knight, and together they have created one of the world's great dry red wine bargains. Aged ten months in neutral French wood, this 100% Shiraz tips the scales at 15.5% alcohol. It is a sexy, delicious 'winner' boasting amazing opulence, purity, and richness. A true southern Australian fruit bomb - and proud of it, it is the kind of wine that simply does not exist anywhere else in the world. Enjoy it over the next 3-4 years." #3; COLOR-dark purple, black; NOSE-lot of fruit, bacon fat, dark blackberry, plum, black currant; hint of a rounded citrus aspect (orange peel, mango, apricot); TASTE-if you're a fan of over-the-top extracted Shiraz's (Mollydooker, Schild etc.) you will like this; not quite as refined, but tons of fruit, dark chocolate, creme de cassis, little off balance & very young, very delicious, syrupy; RP-91; GV-89 |
