Zema Estate 2002 Shiraz PlonkOz04

The wine was bottled in July and has just been released. Coffee essence over spice and subtle chocolate is a unusual and not what I was expecting. Chewy tannins and distinct fruit combine to provide a firm but supple consistency, and well developed complexity in this ample-weight wine. Spice, liquorice, chocolate and coffee flavours finish with good persistence and create an interesting wine. Who says Coonawarra can't make Shiraz? A damn goof wine for the price, its rated as Recommended with **** for value.
