Whilst I enjoyed this I couldn't help but feel that it would have been better drunk a couple of years ago. It didn't have quite the finesse and class of an aged Seppelt Show Sparkling (I've recently had some from the early '80s).
Nevertheless it was still good.....

Bottle was leaking but did not detract from the flavour, flavours of black berries cherries and plums. The flavour is long lasting on your tongue and is to be savoured! A truly great example of a Black Shiraz. Looking forward to Christmas to crack the last two!

Explosive flavors of black fruit with balanced acidity. The best bottles of sparkling shiraz I've ever had.
