Three Hills Shiraz Margaret River 2000 (West Coast Australia)

Purple/red.

Deep and lifted aromatics - licorice, juniper, white pepper with a pool of raspberry underneath. Savory meat too. Killer nose.

Round with good, slightly grainy, density. Great lift in the mouth also, thanks to the first three aromatic components. No sense of alcohol. Structure is obvious, but does not impede flavor flow. Late medicinal note. How could you get tired of this?

$20 on a blowout sale, should be $45. This style didn't have many fans back in 2004/5.
