Tasting Notes - Fox Gorden 8 Uncles Shiraz 2004 (Recommended)

Solid dark red with a touch of lightness at the rim. Taunt, serious nose with spicy oak and some attractive gamey notes. Shows penetration and length.Well proportioned palate with more gamey notes lurking. Shows excellent mouth coverage and very good balance, all overlayed with a fell of elegance. Very classy wine that should age for at least 5yrs. Only minor quibble is a lack of obvious fruit upfront (muted by some right now?) but I'm tipping the winemaker never really intended for this drop to be the instant gratification type.
