Zandvliet Kalkveld Shiraz 2003

Limited Edition
Colour: Dark plum.
Bouquet: Complex nose, meaty, violets, liquorice & chocolates. Dark red fruit aromas beautifully integrated with vanilla. Nose opening up nicely. Reminds of northern Rhone Syrah.
Palate: Full black fruit and tarry spiciness, yet sweetish entry but good mouthfeel, soft tannins & long mineral aftertaste.

Decanting is recommended. A beautifully elegant wine to grace any table. Enjoy especially with red meats & spicy foods.
