T-Selection, Shiraz-Grenache, 2003
Dense purple in color, this rich, big and juicy wine is absolutely loaded with blackberry and plum fruits, those set off nicely by hints of cloves, coffee, citrus peel and black pepper, all on super-soft tannins. Harmonious, generous, long and mouth-coating Drink now–2012.
