  McLaren Vale Shiraz in a fruit, but not bold-driven style.
  Medium ruby with medium aroma intensity and aromas/flavors of blackberry, black plum, black cherry, red plum, dried thyme and spices, some leather, cloves and toasty. Developing
  The wine is dry with high acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol and medium +body and medium + flavor intensity. Long finish. The quality is very good and can drink now potential for aging.

  Very intense, powerful and finish is long. Quote from RP “Life is too sure not to be drinking the wines of Drew Noon.”

  Maybe 90 for the texture but ... nope, 89. First hour is sour. Second hour that goes but then this paprika thing comes out like an aggrieved porkupine. Better in a couple of years. I have 6 so I hope so. RP 96, wow !?! I wish. Maybe 93 max in 5 years.
  
  I recall the 2003 so fondly - that magnificently long legged rich beauty.
