Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Vintage 1999
97 points The Real Review
Deep brick-red colour of a mature red wine, the bouquet echoing this with mature cigarbox and roasting-pan aromas of classic aged shiraz. Roasted chestnut, traces of mocha, but it has developed through its fruit stage into a drier spectrum of aromas now. The palate is still drying from tannin, very savoury and complex, mellow and long. Tannins are still quite insistent, but it's in its prime.
