HEATHCOTE WINERY 'MAIL COACH' Shiraz 2000

Deep dark and brooding, the nose initially showed strong vanilla/caramel from American oak. The plummy spicy fruit came to the fore after an hour or so. On the palate plum, cherries, cinnamon, cloves and hints of liquorice and vanilla combine. Full and rich drinking very nicely. Has five to ten years ahead of it.
