December 24, 2021 - Oliverhills Shiraz Jimmy Selection 2003
Color of Tourmaline and deep purple, still bright and good clarity! Drink straight from bottle without much decanting. Nose of intense riped fruits, more black than red, black & red cherries, black & red berries, blueberry, figs, caramel, slightly herbaceous. Entry is smooth and savoury, rich and still rather fruity, plummy. Mid palate is full an rich, smooth but firm tannins, reasonable acidity to uphold her characters. Reasonable finish with sweetness lingers in the throat! 91 points -

Deep murky purple garnet
Strong over ripe mulberry and alcohol nose
Dense thick sweet alcohol feel on palate.
This has seen better days, drink up. The lack of acidity can make this tiresome. Yet the hugeness may make this remain a nice impressive party wine, with and odd grain finish -
