Mont Rochelle Shiraz 2002

Intense plumy red in colour, this full bodied wine offers an array of aromatic sensations, including white pepper and spice interlaced with plumbs and blackberries. This follows through to a superlatively structured mouth feel of seductive red berry fruits and layers of mocha, combining harmoniously with ripe berry and oak tannins, giving the wine length, structure and excellent aging potential
