Happs 2000 Three Hills Shiraz ($45) which has a nose showing some smoky oak and nose clearing iodine over some pretty good fruit. It's a full-bodied wine with firm consistency, solid structure and a well-developed complexity which is ably supported by bucket loads of fine grained drying tannins and pure distinct fruit that comes across the palate as sweet blackberry, savoury plum, light chocolate, aniseed and pepper. The wine is rated as Highly Recommended with ** for value it should peak around 2006.
