Three Hills, Shiraz, Margaret River 2000

Purple/red.

Subdued nose (for this wine) hints at cracked pepper, eucalyptus, deep black fruit and savory meat/earth.

Round, seamless with some textural sweetness. Nicely delineated through the mid-palate and finish, with real lift and nice acid backbone that certainly comes across as "natural". This bottle is more corpulent than any previous, but lacks the clarity and wild lift of others. Opened yesterday, but not giving much up at all. Maybe it's time to drain any remaining bottles?


$40
