Definitely nice Shiraz!! Dense color, with jammy, coffee and chocolate taste and nice long finish. It is peaking now, so I would not risk to store it more if I had some bottles (which I do not :().
Wow.89. Big score. I'll look out for this. I associate Peter Lehmann with the budget end of the wine range but this is clearly something else.
ReplyDeleteBTW I have Reidel glasses now thanks to a wine promotion so I will have to take the taste test for myself :-)
yeah yeah. it was really nice. I really enjoyed the bottle tones of the wine, which must have been totally black with purple hues when young. You can see that u cannot get the Old world aging potential of 10+ years, but it was very smooth and coffee like:)
