2001
Light to medium red-purple; the moderately intense bouquet offers notes of earth, leather and spice, the firm and fresh palate with spice, vanilla and berry. Not convincing, and I am puzzled about Dave Powell's description of the colour as 'deep purple-black', and the suggestion that 2001 was equal to or better than 1998. For the record, 100 per cent hand-picked Barossa shiraz, open-fermented.
