Eden Springs
2002 Shiraz
Nov 05
The nose is dominated by seemingly very sweet blackberry with a reasonable
amount of white pepper below, but there is also a touch of liquid smoke. A
fruit-driven wine that is well backed by smooth tannins; it is medium-weight
with a supple consistency, a solid structure and has a well-developed diverse
complexity. Gamey; offsetting sweet and savoury nuances with spicy/pepper,
aniseed, and blackberry flavours run through the palate in waves of alternating
flavours. It is still youthful and whilst there may be a little Brett, it
is attractive. The wine has an intense finish with an excellent power to weight
ratio. It is drinking well now and holds some
interest. Rated as Recommended with *** for value.
