Tasting Notes - Blackjack Shiraz 1998 (Recommended)

It's always interesting to see how a wine is travelling at 7yrs when said drop is now receiving a fair bit of hype. Dark red showing good consistency. Fragrant nose, not heavy, with lighter berry fruits showing some development. Fairly similar in the mouth, nice red berries and a touch of cherry and charry oak, spice and a touch of leaf. Very pleasant, but I can't help wonder whether this regional flagbearer needs to show a bit more omph at 7 years?
