Brown Brothers Heathcote Australia Shiraz 2004
Copyright © 2012 Bob Campbell, Master of Wine. Republishing Info.
87/100
A livlier, fresher example of Heathcote Shiraz than the typical blockbuster, high alcohol wines produced by this exciting area (14.5% alcohol may seem high but 15+ is the norm here). Surprisingly supple with the beginning of some good forest floor bottle development. Stylish, hionest red that offers real value at this price.
