Majella 2001 Shiraz SA2003

 

This wine is due for release at the end of May or early in June. The aroma has a sweet fruity perfumed nose with some subtle oak nuances. Tannins are velvety smooth with balanced acid and pure distinct fruit. It’s a very clean wine with a lovely soft mouth feel. 

 

Body weight is ample, the consistency silky, the structure seamless and a developed and harmonious complexity makes this wine a very easy drink with a long finish; in short its jug-able and classified as a “GPQ wine.” This is not surprising when you have a well crafted wine where the fruit has been able to speak that shows moorish chocolate, blackcurrant and liquorice. Rated as Highly Recommended, the finish lasts longer than it took to type this tasting note with two fingers and it scores *** for value. Make sure you don’t miss this one, it will sell quickly.
