Q: Any opinion on the Gladstone Shiraz 00?

Post by MartinC »

Hi all knowledgable,

I was completely bowed over by their '99. IMO, the best Shiraz I had out of WA. Now the 2000 is out, is it a good follow-up???

Btw. JH think very highly of this wine:

Dense purple-red; dark plum, prune and berry fruit on the bouquet are followed by a palate with luscious fruit and harmoniously balanced oak and tannins. At the big end of town, to be sure, but beautifully handled.

Thanks, :D

Martin,

If you go to http://www.torbwine.com and do a tasting note search on Gladstone you will find it.
