Coriole - Estate Shiraz

A recent visit to Seven Seas for a special occasion gave me the opportunity to try a very nicely aged Shiraz.

This bottle was from the 2000 vintage. The nose was excellent and offered a very pronounced fruit / berry aroma. The body was full, as you would expect from a heavier Shiraz with a dark purple color. The legs were long lasting the finish was about 20 seconds.

It paired excellent with the meal I was having which was a black pepper rubbed sirloin steak. The wine could stand up to the seasoning and then some.

I would recommend this wine to anyone who truly enjoys a full bodied red, just save room for dessert, because it was great with the Black Forest Torte I had.

Enjoy till next time......
