2003 Coates Organically Grown Shiraz, McLaren Vale (cork): 14.5% alc. Medium to dark red/garnet. The bouquet is in a great place right now, very complex with menthol, ash, eucalyptus, earthy mushrooms, black cherries and plums with a hint of black pepper; the palate’s medium to full-weight, with some alcohol heat beginning to show on the minty finish. Best to drink soon on this form.
