2004 Gibsons Shiraz Old Vine Collection Magnum

Tasting Note:

A blockbuster the 2004 Shiraz Old Vine Collection is 100% Shiraz made from an amazing parcel of 140-year-old vines. It is a broodingly rich backward formidably endowed dense ruby/purple-hued Shiraz boasting a huge spicy smoky nose rich sweet blackberry and cassis fruit as well as hints of melted road tar pepper and flowers. This is a full-throttle Barossa Shiraz with a relatively modest alcohol content (14.4%). Given the richness extract and sweetness of the tannins it can be drunk young or cellared for 15+ years.
