Seppelt Victorian Premium Reserve Shiraz 2002

Made by Seppelt in Australia.

A dry, still, red wine with 14.5% alcohol tasted on 23rd Jan 2005.

Grape: Shiraz

Quality: Good

Value: Good

Cost: Usually between $12.99 - $17.30.

Looks: Dark black / ruby, if there is such a colour. Heavy looking.

Smells: Powerful and full, with both red and bacl berries, dark oak, and spice.

Feels: Full and brooding.

Tastes: Full vanilla and choc wood, ripe blackcurrant juiciness, with a long, dark dry finish. Pretty classy. This is one of those wines I think of straight away when I get the classic question "What is a good, cheap red?"
