Boschrivier Shiraz 2002

John Platter Wine Guide 2005 - 3Â½ stars
2005 Veritas Awards - Bronze
Strong violet aromas with hints of wild raspberry mousse direct the nose...A touch of blackpepper just giving the spice which combines with the oak flavours of roasted hazelnuts, cedar wood and a slightly smoky fire...The palate is full with rich silky tannins.
