Georgia's Paddock
Shiraz (2001)
Tasting Notes
Time of release
The 2001 vintage was again very good in Heathcote, producing another typical example of this wine ie sweet red berries and spices on the nose and palate with an almost thick, tongue coating viscosity and lovely rounded tannins. As usual, approachable from now on, particularly if decanted, but long cellaring will reward. 14.5% alc/vol.
Tasting notes by Andrew Caillard, MW - August 2007
Medium deep colour. Intense liquorice/ black cherry aromas with some mint nuances. Black cherry/ licquorice flavours with some brambly notes, firm dry sappy assertive tannins, but nice core of fruit sweetness. Alcoholic/ tannin kick at the finish. 2010-2025. 85 points
