Killibinbin Shiraz 1997 - Langhorne Creek, Australia

The colour is primarily electric purple, with only slight fading on the edges considering the age.  New leather, mulberry and roast meat comes through on the perfumed nose. The palate is still lively with a mix of forest fruits dried spice and creamy acidity. Not to far from the M.Chapoutier Les Granits - St Joseph, a single vineyard Syrah at double the price of the Killibinbin. Release price was around A$20 which is an absolute bargain. This wine is hard to find in Australia but worth buying if you see it.
