Munari 2003 Shiraz Mourvedre PlonkOz04

The wine contains 13% Mourvedre and is primarily Bendigo fruit and it retells the approximately $25 a bottle. The bouquet was tight and unyielding. Smooth, drying tannins and unobtrusive balanced acid combine with pure fruit to form an ample-weight wine with supple consistency and a solid, harmonious structure. It's fleshy and ripe, in short a lovely fruit driven wine showing plum, black fruits, spice and a meaty back palate. The Mourvedre makes this an interesting wine which should improve with time and is good value. Rated as Recommended with *** for value, it should peak in 2005 and beyond.
