TN: 2002 Foggo Wines Hubertus Reserve Shiraz

[n4sir]

2002 Foggo Wines Hubertus Reserve Shiraz, McLaren Vale (cork): Still an impressive dark to inky red/purple colour, and still a major step up on the Old Vine Shiraz, full of sweet blackberry/raspberry, black liquorice, and the finest dusting of white pepper. The palate’s just as full of sweet, black fruit matched with fine, chalky tannins, medium to full weight, the peppery mid-palate leading to an elegant, mineraly & chalky finish. Great stuff.

Cheers,
Ian

I thought Herb was trying to sell up a while back. Did he not get his price or reconcider and stay?

I think it's still on sale.

Sorry to hear it if that's the case.

Herb was at the CD the last time I was there (about two years ago) - they originally had two vineyards, and had sold the Wilcadene vineyard & homestead (I think that was at McLaren Flat) to d'Arenberg when it was previously up for sale, but fully intended to keep the Foggo Road winery block, cellar door, etc.
