| Marquis Philips 2002 Shiraz is wine dreams are made of.
Keeping a step ahead of the Aussie tradition when it comes
to producing big Shiraz wines, Sarah and Sparky Marquis did
a wonderful job with this release. The wine shows a ruby
core that fades to an orange rim. The nose is full of ripe
blueberries, anise and menthol. The richness in flavor
follows the nose. The rich body possesses a mellowed
consistency with fine tannins that are lightly drying. There
is plenty of structure with fresh acidity giving this wine a
harmonious complexity and balance. With concentrated
intensity, this is a best of breed Shiraz. |
