De Bortoli GS Reserve Shiraz 2000
Dark ruby red Spicy nose with liquorice, smoke, earth, caramel notes . Full bodied with grainy tannins and some alchoholic heat. Predominantly cherry fruit blown off course by acidity, alchohol and tannins. See how this develops - will report back.
A bit later - a compelling nose of meat, earth and black fruits - more balanced on the palette with the black cherry fruit component starting to compete well. Remains to be seen if the structural elements will win.
