Very good colour; blackberry and cherry with touches of chocolate and spicy oak; restrained power to a wine of immaculate balance and length. Happily, only 13.5° alcohol.

The 2003 Shiraz Graveyard is richer, fuller, and more complete than its older sibling. Aged in 80% French and 20% American oak, it exhibits a dense purple color as well as a sweet perfume of black currants, cassis, loamy soil, licorice, and dried herbs. Spicy, long, and rich, with an open-knit texture, it can be drunk now or cellared for 10-12 years.
