2005 Mr. Riggs Shiraz The Gaffer - Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, McLaren Vale (5/26/2006)
WIML87,NOWA,NOWS

Tasted May 26, 2006 at a retail tasting. Opened and served about an hour later in a Riedel Vinum Cabernet Sauvignon glass. Purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of cedar, chocolate, mixed berries and a little blueberry. Flavors of red berries and red currants. Rounded tannings with light acidity. Drink over the next 3-4 years. Based on the $19.54 per bottle local retail price I’d say the value is acceptable. (87 pts.)
