1997 Greenock Creek Seven Acre Shiraz

Tasting Note:

The 1997 Shiraz Seven Acres is another big baby that goes on and on in the mouth. Soaring aromas of creme de cassis smoke blackberries new saddle leather and earth are followed by a layered multidimensional wine of great purity richness and length. At age 12 this seems like a 2- to 3-year-old wine and while critics might ask _where_s the complexity?_ everything remains intact and my instincts suggest this like its siblings is a 30+ year wine. These wines tend to be drunk entirely too soon and are often written off before they have ever had a chance to develop fully. Source: Wine Advocate
