Wise Eagle Bay Shiraz 2005

Red
BN#223046

This wine is deep red to black in colour with bright purple hues. Aromas of ripe red berries (plums/raspberries) with pepper and mixed peel spice are nicely complimented by notes of star anise and vanillan oak. Brooding forest floor and slightly gamey characters on the palate with a core of intense, juicy plum fruit flavour running through the wine. Well-balanced and integrated oak gives further complexity whilst the firm yet fine tannins will see this wine continue to improve and gain in greater complexity over the next eight to ten years with appropriate and careful cellaring.

Wine Enthusiast From Margaret River in Western Australia, this is a full-bodied, impressively endowed Shiraz at a reasonable price. Superripe aromas of blackberries and licorice mark the nose, while the palate features similar flavors, supple tanins and a creamy-textured finish. Good to go now, with enough concentration to hold until 2015. Score: 91. —Joe Czerwinski, August 01, 2008.
