[SOLD-OUT] Rosemount Balmoral Shiraz 2000

 

The 2000 Syrah Balmoral emerges from old McLaren Vale vines. Its deep ruby color is followed by smoky, black currant, and berry fruit offered in a medium-bodied, pinched, but well-endowed style. The vintage's weakness pokes through, but this remains a competent effort to consume over the next 4-5 years. Wine Advocate #148 (Aug 2003) Robert Parker
Winemaker Comments: Andrew Koerner Colour Almost impenetrable inky purple. Nose An initial hit of pepper and spice is backed up by rich cassis and liquorice tones. Well integrated creamy American oak adds great complexity. Palate The palate shows true Balmoral form, smooth and long with good varietal character. The cassis and spice evidenced on the nose combine seamlessly on the palate with toasty oak flavours to provide a generous, long finish. Reflecting the vintage conditions, the well-rounded tannins are interwoven with a fine thread of acidity and provide the necessary structure for an extended bottle life.
