Terroir-istes International - Australia-Barossa & McLaren Vale 2002 Shiraz (Groot Constantia): (Blind Tasting): A mid-deep black red wine. Complex nose showing tertiary notes of earth, leather, sandalwood, undergrowth, and noticeable menthol elements. The palate is full-bodied with warm, ripe fruit and flavours of liquorice, cedarwood, and dry spices. There is a hint of oxidation, and the menthol notes flow across the palate. The wine has a sandy, rich texture and is generous. A fair level of extraction, it is powerful without being over the top. A good wine, nicely integrated with the medium acidity. 14.5% Alc

Schöne Shiraz-Kirsche in der Nase, setzt sich am Gaumen fort, etwas eindimensional, aber immer noch ordentlich.

Probably drinking one of the last bottles but it's still holding up but fading.
