1996 Scarpatoni 'Block 3' Shiraz

The nose is enticing with plum and rich cedary American oak. The palate is saturated with plum and has exceptionally fine grained tannins, there is tremendous length to finish along with some mocha notes. An exceptional aged McLaren Vale Shiraz that has a superb depth and mouth feel.
