Friday, March 22, 2013 - tasted blind
nose- boysenberry, raspberry
mouth - superbly concentrated utterly lush fruit. wow. for the first half of the glass this utterly flored me, and had me salivating, but then i started to see past the sex appeal, and found it to be somewhat unidimensional. Ultimately I wound up prefering the '02 as having better complexity. Still, as Bill points out that a 12 year old shiraz could be a lavish fruit bomb is pretty remarkable in its own right. A hedonists Parker style wine without a doubt. Add 5 points if that's your thing.
