The blockbuster 2002 Shiraz Hanisch spent 22 months in French and American oak. A limited cuvee of 337 cases from one of the Barossa’s most renowned vineyard sites, it possesses a dense purple color, extraordinary richness, an incredible perfume of creosote, blueberries, blackberries, and cassis, and velvety tannin that suggests great ripeness as well as wonderful integration of all its structural components. With full body, stunning depth, a multilayered mouthfeel, tremendous purity, and a 60+ second finish, this unevolved yet accessible Shiraz should hit its prime in 2-3 years, and last for 12-15 or longer. This is a brilliant Barossa Valley Shiraz! Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel (610) 486-0800
