2002 Barossa Valley Estate Shiraz E & E Black Pepper - Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley (12/23/2007)
Poured into a decanter and left for 3 &1/2 hours then poured back into the bottle before taking to dinner. This is the best Aussi Shiraz I have had, Inky purple almost black color, nose of dark fruit and spice. This is a full bodied, mouth coating, teeth staining wine. Fruit, spice, hint of chocolate, and a finish that lasted over a minute, the tannins were a bit out of wack when first opened but after the long decant this wine was seamless. Seldom am I sad to get to the end of a bottle but last night I was very sad to see this wine come to an end. Have two more left and will not touch them for several more years, I can see that with age this wine will gain a few more points. (96 pts.)
