Description
The 1998 Moonambel Shiraz leads with rocks and coffee grounds, graphite and resin, blood and tar. It was a warm, dry day in Moonambel as I sat looking out over the hills blanketed in native bushland. And this wine feels very reminiscent of the natural landscape, severe and craggy in places, beautiful in its way. The wine is mineral and fine yet has a surging upswell of fruit power. The gentle Bonox aromas translate eloquently in the mouth, giving this a very exciting, light/dark character. It’s in a great place for drinking right now and is maturing nicely. 14% alcohol, sealed under cork.
