Yacca Paddock Shiraz Tannat 2003

Red
BN#167286

Spicy fragrant nose with a hint of liquorice, and a delectable toasty overtone - the palate long and savoury with succulent fruit characters.

James Halliday Fragrant but intense and powerful; predominantly dark fruits; surprisingly silky palate; very impressive debut. Score: 92.

Wine Enthusiast This is an excellent red, and further evidence of the Hills success with unusual grape varieties. Tannat (20%) gives this Shiraz more grip on the midpalate than most other regional Shirazes have. Good acids, plum and blackberry fruit, and black pepper nuances make this classy wine a winner, however difficult it might be to rationalize paying this much for such an odd blend. 250 cases produced. Imported by Australian Wine Connection. Score: 90. —Daryna Tobey, August 01, 2005.
