A
brilliant medium straw yellow in colour with aromas

Long
Row Shiraz 2003
3 1/2 Stars
Rating
84
A
deep, dark red, this wine has classic Australian Shiraz
aromas of dark berries, plums and spice. These are carried
through to the palate where they are enhanced by the
oak usage which has imparted soft tannins and a hint
of smoky oak. The finish is long and full.

A

varietal aromas of blackcurrants, black olive and ripe
berry fruit with a hint of mint. The palate has an upfront

and a clean, silky finish with just a touch of oak.
