2001 Shiraz Block 1928

The dark plum/purple-colored 2001 Shiraz 1928 (from a vineyard planted in 1928) offers a perfume of pepper, leather, black fruits, and loamy soil scents. Round, generous, and friendly, it possesses full body, plenty of glycerin, and an uncomplicated, richly fruity style. Enjoy it over the next 5-7 years. Aug 2003, www.robertparker.com
