2003 LAUGHING JACK SHIRAZ - TASTING NOTES

The 2003 opens with a beautifully, deep garnet colour. Aromas of black pepper and ripe dark plums dominate the nose. Elements of eucalyptus, mint and cedar serve as complexing components to the rich black fruit. On the palate, a solid core of richly textured fruit is framed by a finish of fine grained tannin and lingering spiciness. Cheers!

2002 LAUGHING JACK SHIRAZ - TASTING NOTES
The vivid bright crimson colour gives an early indication of the concentration to be found in the 2002 vintage. Classic Barossa Shiraz aromas of white pepper, spice and ripe plums fill the nose with accents of mint and eucalyptus framed by sweet cedary oak. The palate is beautifully structured with good depth and concentration of flavour and a long finish of plush, fine grained tannins.   **SOLD OUT**
