1997 Clarendon Hills Shiraz Brookman

Tasting Note:

The 1997 Shiraz Brookmans Vineyard exhibits a saturated opaque purple color that gives way to a peppery dried herb tar asphalt and blackberry liqueur-scented nose. As the wine sits in the glass intense aromas of allspice also emerge. Huge massive chewy and full-bodied it is packed with fruit glycerin and character. Drink it over the next 12-15+ years. This wine is a crowd-pleasing exotic offering that takes the level of richness and hedonism to sensational heights. This wine is worth trying if only because of its compelling purity opulence and explosive richness. Source: eRobertParker.com
