Mooiplaas Shiraz 2003

Deep colour almost black, nose an interesting mix of roasted oak and typical spice (fynbos) of Shiraz, lovely balance of fruit and oak on palate, silky mouth feel, very approachable, good potential for further development. 2003. Shows more elegance than the more powerful 2002.
