2005 Patricia Shiraz

Nose of dark berries, spice and mocha oak. A rich warm palate with a hint of dark chocolate, firm tannin structure and a long finish. There is a quibble about the noticeable American oak and the firmness but the wine will definitely benefit from some cellaring. This bottle appeared to be in better balance than the one reviewed in February 2009 Winewise. We strongly commend the screwcap closure.
