Greg Norman Limestone Coast Shiraz

1998 Greg Norman Limestone Coast Shiraz

Now I know why I took up golf.....to drink Greg's wines!
Beautiful opaque, rich dark black ruby color with an initial nose of oak only. After 30 minutes the oak retreated a little exposing mature plum and vanilla scents. Very full bodied and elegent, flavors of plum,bright cherry,chocolate,sweet vanilla and good pepper on the long finish. I really enjoyed this wine alone but would hesitate paring with food as I thought a little too oaky. It kinda reminded me of an overoaked Napa Merlot with some spice on the finish. Great effort though.
