TN: `04 Mount Langi Ghiran Billi Billi Shiraz, Victoria.

Post by bob parsons »

My impression of this wine!!!

SC, 14% alc, $20 Cdn, drunk straight from the bottle.

C. Medium intense centre, light purple rim that starts to show hint of bricking.

N. Spice, cherry, blueberry appears after an hour in the glass. Hint of smoke and next day more ripe black fruits. Appealing.

P. Initial mouthfeel entry is plum, cherry, soft tannins, a finish tad short and dusty. After 2 hrs some pepper and more depth on the rapidly developing finish.....blackberry to forefront. Not a big wine but would suit those looking for an introduction to this shiraz grape variety. Bravo MLG!
