Tasting Notes

2003 Yalumba The Octavius (Shiraz Old Vine) | 750 ML | $79.98 | 97 Points! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate # 167 Oct 2006 Reviewer: Robert Parker:| A renowned Barossa icon is Yalumba’s Shiraz The Octavius. The 2003 is a 100% Shiraz aged 22 months in a combination of American barrels (coopered at Yalumba) and French 300 liter hogsheads. This beauty offers up aromas of sweet blueberries, black truffles, blackberries, melted road tar, pepper, and espresso roast. Full-bodied, powerful, and rich, with sweet tannin, decent acidity, and a superb finish, this is a wine to drink over the next 15 or more years.
