Seppelt Mount Ida Heathcote Shiraz 2004

Made by Seppelt in Australia (region: Heathcote) .

A dry, still, red wine with 14.5% alchohol tasted on 16th May 2008.

Grape: Shiraz

Quality: Good

Value: Ouch!

Cost: Usually between $39.99 - $52.99.

Looks: Very black colour - full bodied looking as well

Smells: Dark dark and dark - licorice and a hint of...tomato?

Feels: Full bodied - but actually only just. Lighter than it really appears

Tastes: One word - black. Black fruit, licorice, tar. And then - whammo, tomato bush invades the senses. Tannins are nice, although slightly green tinged. Pepper tones are there. But this wine is a love it or hate it style I think - some will love the black dark fruit, others will ask for more fruit, spice and interest. And less tomato.

Possible retailers: Vintage Cellars, Dan Murphy's, Kemeny's, Winestar.
