Delatite Shiraz 1997 750ml

Rare, mature Delatite Shiraz from the 1997 vintage, grown in the cool-climate Strathbogie Ranges, Victoria. This bottle shows developed complexity with soft tannins and integrated acidity. Aromas and flavors layer dark fruit with leather, tobacco, and cocoa, finishing long and savory. A collectible Shiraz that pairs with game, roasted meats, and aged cheeses; best enjoyed now or with a few more years of careful cellaring. Tasting notes: Appearance: Deep garnet with brick rim. Nose: Blackberry, plum, leather, tobacco, cocoa, espresso, hints of vanillin oak. Palate: Medium-full body; dark fruit, chocolate, and espresso flavors; refined, velvety tannins; balanced acidity; long, spicy, savory finish.
