Tasting Notes - Clos Clare Shiraz 2003

Opened up very nicely with classic mint and berry notes and an attractive fragrant nose. Berry notes hold out through the palate but the fruit generally drys out a little and gets a bit woody, almost tawny like. This distracts to a degree such that the wine would be best left for another 12 months before re-assessing. This wine has been a very good drop in past vintages and we expect this will come good.
