Three Hills Shiraz Margaret River 2000 (West Coast Australia)

Deep red/purple.

Cracked pepper, juniper, slightly meaty nose.

Medium-weight impression in the mouth, with lively flavors that mirror the nose. Acid-driven tannin coats the front teeth. Not a fleshy wine, but is quite intensely flavored. Long juniper/pepper finish.


Day 3 - Now showing the citrus (orange) character that I usually notice whenever I find a pepper component in a red wine. This is clearly superior to the 2002. Brighter, longer, more interesting.
